Here we have a very fine ‘Ottoman Empire’ era silver band ring: The band is of a consistent width at 9 mm and the band is hand-decorated with a swirling organic design which, covers the entire band , to the inside band we see the initials U.P. beautifully hand-inscribed: The bezel is formed from delicate silver granulations and filigree work: It bis nice to see that this ring has not been over-cleaned and details a fine old antique patina to the silver: 

Condition: Extremely Fine:

The ring is in excellent antique condition with a fine silver-oxide patina seen throughout: A near perfect example of its type and all completely hand crafted:
