Finger ring off a trumpet?

Oarlock?

 

[vanner]

yes, I guess without a size comparison the picture is hard to read. The loop is the same diameter as a womens ring, and it has a stone set on it. Looks like a diamond to look at, but hey could I be that lucky.

Given the dimensions I would say it's a flower ring that has lost its petals early ....a good sign of an early winter.......

If it didn't have the stone in it I would guess a syringe thumb pusher. But since there's a stone it must be a home made ring with a very tall set..

Maybe something used to hold a stone while cutting it.

Good idea...

Looks like oarlock.
Where or what area did you find it in ?

 

[vanner]

I found it at a race track. It fits on my little finger up to the first nuckle to give some indication of size, its sort of like a very ugly ring. I was going to discard it but then I noticed it had a clear stone set on top of the stem.

Now that I know the size I'd wager a sort of ring as the stone on top may indicate.
