Siam 925 sterling ring

[joesdigs]

Hey guys, wondering of anyone here can date this ring. Was found at an old site. And by old I mean really old. 600 years old. Been finding stuff from 1600 to 1880 lately. The rign is marked Siam 925 sterling and beautifully designed. It's Thailand but I'd love to know what date? Thanks in advance you brainy people joe

Since it says both Siam and 925, it probably dates from between about 1905 and 1939.

I'm not seeing the enamel or finely detailed work on this that niello has. I'm not sure that the characters on it is typical either (but can't really make good sense of what the is on it). This mark is found on plenty of non-niello jewelry from Siam/Thailand as well.
For comparison sake, here's what I think of as niello: http://www.google.com/search?client...388.0j1j1.2.0...0.0...1c.1.11.img.HR0aLKq6xQc
