I'm guessing the stall holders didn't know this was silver. Interesting that the design around the scarab is what the Dutch call "Zeeuwse Knopjes" or Zeeland Knots. The scarab looks to be ceramic rather than carved.
I'm totally crappy at deciphering Egyptian hallmarks.
I now know the flower is an Egyptian Water Lily. Half the battle won.
:-((((
Thanks for coming over!

I think the flower is the Egyptian water lily (Nymphaea Caerulea) pictured in the style of ancient Egyptians.
You are finding fabulous items for a pittance!!!
Bonnie,
This is truly unique and beautiful! What would the person wearing this ring keep inside of it? Just curious.
And martika once again saves the day! I've been pretty lucky lately, I have to admit.
scott - it's possible somebody kept snuff in it. Or a pill. Or arsenic....bah hahahaha!
I do like these locket type rings Bonnie.........would there be enough room to put a picture or lock of hair in it?
Very interesting!!! Easy on the arsenic Dr. Evil!!!
Awesome ring Bonnie!
Judy. it's really small in there. There's room for one Bayer Aspirin, lol!
Thanks, pops!
Date letter looks to be 1945-49, 700 Cairo , the picture with marks is upside down :)
@Dizzy - HA! What a surprise....I'll turn it around....
Ok....that is really small.....stick with the pinch of arsenic lol!
Very cool Bonnie... Could have used this a few times on my mother-in-law! Just kidding, she's a peach LOL.
