Gold ring found at beach?? European maybe?

[jraven]

I found this ring at the beach. I wasn't sure if it was gold. It has a 585 mark which is supposed to be equivalent to 14 k. There are also some letters I cant make out.. The letters may be European. I did some research and learned sometimes European gold is marked with the 585.

If anyone can make out the letters that would be great...

Thanks

It looks like Gyloglan to me. Can't find anything by Googling it though. Beautiful ring!

perhaps guloglan? which seems to be a name from Azerbaijan

that's about the only combination I tried that had more than just a couple of hits if any

looks like a form of elvish.....

seriously, though, 585 means 14k gold..

i know this may seem odd, but it looks almost like there was a hinged cover on it, the shaft part of the hinge being on the ring itself, (visible)

I just learned that Soviets mark gold 585.

That name is unclear due to wear, but still a geat looking ring and gold to boot

Congratulations! That is a great looking gold ring. Looks like it might have a face of white gold where the diamond is mounted. Hopefully someone on this forum will recognize that makers mark to give you an idea of where it was made.
Great find!
