Siam Sterling Silver Ring

The item is a sterling silver ring, visibly marked with "SIAM STERLING" indicating its material and origin. The ring appears to be a bypass style, where the ends of the band overlap rather than meeting at a central setting, although the full design is not visible. The silver exhibits a moderate amount of tarnish or patina, particularly in recessed areas of the markings, which is typical for aged sterling silver and may suggest it has not been recently polished. The surface shows some minor scratches consistent with wear, but no major dents or damage are immediately apparent. The craftsmanship appears solid, with clearly struck marks. The presence of a registered trademark symbol (R) next to an unidentifiable symbol and what might be a maker's mark indicates an effort towards branding and quality control. Given the 'Siam' designation, which was the name for Thailand until 1939 and was commonly used in jewelry manufacturing for export through the mid-20th century, the item likely dates to the mid-20th century, possibly from the 1940s to 1960s. The visible portion of the ring band suggests a smooth, polished finish, and its general design points to a vintage aesthetic typical of the period.
