Yellow Gold Commemorative Military or Service Ring

This item is a yellow gold signet-style ring, likely a commemorative or class ring, possibly for military service. The ring features a standard signet construction with an oval top plate and wide, tapering shoulders. The metal has a bright yellow-gold finish, though the internal metal composition (whether solid gold or gold-plated) would require acid testing as no visible hallmark is shown. The top face of the ring displays a circular emblem encased in a raised bezel, featuring what appears to be a profile figure or specific crest. Encircling this central image is text that is difficult to decipher due to image blur but likely identifies an organization, year, or rank. The shoulders of the ring show heavy, cast-in relief ornamentation, possibly featuring eagle motifs or oak leaf clusters, common in traditional military jewelry. Regarding condition, the piece shows significant surface wear and 'softening' of the high-relief details, suggesting long-term frequent use. There are visible surface scratches, minor dents, and a perceptible patina within the recesses of the casting. The overall craftsmanship represents a standard mid-20th-century commercial casting style, likely dating from the 1960s to the 1980s. The ring has a substantial, heavy profile consistent with masculine jewelry styles of that era.
