Looks Victorian to me! Congrats. Is it silver? HH, Dave.

the ring does look old maybe around 1900 , silver can come out looking very black to drabby grey sometimes too.

I agree. :yes: It looks like a old discolored silver ring to me.
Look inside the band, it should say STERLING in there. It might say .925 too. :dontknow:
Usually the older items are marked STERLING.

Nice old find!
Congrats on scratching another first off of your list! :thumbsup01:

:congrats:on scratching off another from the 1st list. You can clean it by taking some baking soda and adding very little water to make a paste. Just rub the paste on the ring.
