AnswerHello Richard and thank you for your inquiry. Your ring is very pretty. It appears to be in the Art Nouveau style. The letters AT could be a mark for the designer or manufacturer. I have not been able to identify the manufacturer as yet. If the ring is very old, it could be some of the writing inside is worn away. Unless there is another hallmark that you can locate, finding out more information will be difficult.Below is a site that better describes the Art Nouveau period.
