"Cnut Ebba" - "Rigmore"

I have a silver ring which has the words (names?) "Cnut", "Ebba" & "Rigmore" engraved on the inside. I cannot read the hallmarks, though the figure 813 is stamped in a small rectangle. The numbers 62240,74342 also appear. The face of the ring has a crown under which is a blue enamel inset on which is a silver prancing stag. Does anyone have any ideas as to possible history, please?

I can't really say anything about your ring, except that Cnut, Ebba and Rigmore are Scandinavian names. Cnut (usually spelled Knut) is a man's name and Ebba and Rigmore (usually spelled Rigmor) are women's names. It's not Swedish, but could be Norwegian, Danish or possibly Finnish. It could of course come from somewhere else aswell.
