QuestionI have a very nondescript ring it could be made of pewter,silver, nickel not sure, but it isn't what the ring is made of but what's inside it, it has a small crystal on it and you hold it up and look into the stone and there is a picture of a couple of nude ladies..
It is like the cross with the "secret stone" you look through and see the lords prayer..
It is a ring that belonged to my grandfather and the picture looks to be late 1800s to the early 1900s..
Any help you can give would be great,I can't even find what kind of ring it is or anything
Thanks..
AnswerHello Brenda and thank you for your inquiry. I believe you have what is called a Stanhope Ring. These novelties were produced in the 1800's and again more recently in items. I have listed below a website that might give you more information. Just click on or copy and paste the url into your browser address field and hit enter:
