I'm curious to know the age or maker if anyone has knowledge of these old rings.

I'd say its silver with either a blue topaz or a glass stone. If you can get rid of some of the tarnish, you may be able to see "sterling" or 925 on the inside, but the ring is pretty corroded and you have to be careful of the stone. Try rubbing with baking soda and salt mixture to see if it will remove anything.
As to age, I'd say an older, but not necessarily antique ring.

Very nice old ring - With that dark oxidation its hard to tell what your metal is - could be silver ,
copper , or brass . the "stone " could be glass , the period appears to be 1920's to me .
Obviously this is a lot of speculation on my part , Argentium.
