Need help with maker ID. Found this sterling ring yesterday. It has a makers mark ws or sw . I tried looking online & I couldn't find the maker.

Good piece of silver. The intertwined 'SW' is the mark used by the J.D. Schlang Company of New York, NY between c.1943-c.1950:

Thanks Red-Coat for the maker ID. I did not know it was silver. I thought silver would have a 925 stamp.

You're welcome. The sterling standard for silver is .925 fine (minimum), so the two marks are interchangeable... and you don't need them both
