I've had this ring for over twenty years. It has London silver marks on the inside with a makers mark, M.G. The year mark is hard to read. I think it is a K.
If anyone knows how to find the silversmith M. G. I would love to hear it. Thanks in advance.

I don't know what the mark looks like, so here's a directory of names:

So creepy, I love it!
Snap with pebble, Creepy but love it.
Wow! FredStarkey, this is an old one, showing crazing in the glass!
Lucky you :-)
Flipping thru CW and this caught my eye. Not sure if I like it or not so gave it a LUV.
Thank you all for your tips and comments. I don't wear it very often but when I do, it generates a lot of interest. It is a great conversation piece.
Fred, have you seen this CW article, and the gold ring in it :

Thank you all for your help, tips and comments. I have, with some help from CW readers, found the origin of this ring. It is an early ring, 1972 from The Great Frog. London Thanks again for your help. :)
