    Need some help. I Think it's a ring ????

    I went out for a bit this afternoon and found this, I think it's a ring, but I'm not sure. It's to small to fit on my dads pinky finger but the overall size is HUGE .
    My mom thinks it could be an old napkin ring. ANY IDEAS
    It is stamped NF 925 on the inside

    I'm not sure, but the NF stands for nickel free...meaning the remaining .075 that is not silver is not nickel.

    Cool find, whatever it is. To me it seems small for a napkin ring.

    I agree. Napkin rings are usually about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter. That looks like it might be part of a henway.
