I need help with this ring. Is it considered Modernist. The hallmark is on the outside. Does this pic look familiar to anyone? Thanks

It is hard to read the mark from your posted image. Could you possibly enlarge it?

Hi Fred, Thanks for taking a look. Are these any better, I did them right side up and upside down.

Puig Doria, a Spanish artist.

I don't know any more than that, but you can Google search and find several pieces by this person. A ring that looks identical to yours is on this site [gone from the Internet], with clearer hallmarks:

Vintage Silver Puig Doria Ring, Spain
A Triangle with Interior Brown and White Agate Stone is Juxtaposed To An Open "V" Shaped Facing Element.
Hallmarked "Puig Doria 925 Made in Spain". (Face: 3/4"x 3/4") (Size 7)

You guys are great! Thanks so much for the help. I really thought this one was a lost cause. I googled the name and found it is a Spanish jewelry company still in existence. My ring doesn't have Made in Spain or 925 like other pieces I found, so I emailed them to see if they made some pieces that didn't have a Sterling mark. Thanks again!
