The mythical gryphon (also spelled griffon or griffin) is a creature with the head, talons, and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion. Popular in British lore, this animal with the body of the King of Beasts and the wings of the King of Birds, is known as a guardian of treasure having divine powers. This cigar-band style ring is made of sterling silver and has an impressed image of the gryphon center front. The ring is ½" wide and currently a size 8 though you could close it a bit or open it quite a bit.

The hallmarks include "SD" in joined squares and, in linked octagons are an indistinct circular mark (leopard head?)/passant/A (serif style) which indicate the ring was made in Chester in 1901. The condition is very fine, with only slight surface scuffs. Whether you prefer fact or fiction, the actual history of the gryphon in lore is real and maybe the creature is too? Wear this ring and see what kind of story you’re inspired to tell!
