Title: Golden ring from Kingdom of Yugoslavia
Post by: ilhan on July 15, 2010, 02:03:30 PM

I have a golden ring which was found by my father in field, in Bulgaria (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krumovgrad).
Inside is written “Kingdom of Yugoslavia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Yugoslavia)” in Serbian Cyrillic alphabet.
Original: КРАЉЕВИНА ЈУГОСЛАВИЈА (http://sr.wikipedia.org/sr/%D0%9A%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%99%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D0%88%D1%83%D0%B3%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%98%D0%B0)

Appraise the ring please:

Very nice old ring, ihan.

It was presumably made in one (of three) country in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia between 1918 and 1943.

Maybe the original owner had been a soldier in the second World War?

It has indications of 2 methods of craftsmanship on or in it- ring was made in the 'lost wax' method and was then engraved by hand.
It might help to have it weighed & its' purity tested at a jewelers, to establish the rings' minimum value.
