Re: 1700s ring or 1970s ring?
I read the mark as STERLING which would not be found on an 18th century item but is used in the 20th century and since.

According to this website the word STERLING was used by the Irish in the 1700's Anyone know more about this?

Hi,
Welcome to the Forum.
The style/font of the word 'STERLING' is very 20th century to my eyes.

In my opinion your ring can be dated to ~1900 (1890-1920). The style ist Jugendstil/ Art Nouveau.
