Portuguese-Russian ring Mystery

Post by Ultreia et Suseia »

Good morning,

I'm hoping to pick your expert brains to solve a family mystery.

My great grandmother emigrated from Portugal to Mexico in the early XX century. Apart from her name (very common Portuguese given name and surname) I only have this ring that belong to her.

Would any of you know if "soviet" made rings with these stamps were common all over Europe or is this a sign of a possible earlier immigration. (Images below)

Many thanks for any tips,

Hi,
The ring was made in 1984. Most likely by amber factory (kombinat) in Riga.
One of the examples we do not trust in provenance e.g.``being in the family for a century`` etc.

Many thanks, your knowledge is impressive and most helpful.
You're correct, although we get carried away with emotion and wishful thinking it's better to know the truth.
Thank you again,
