Nice Cameo Ring Bulgarian! Based on the design of the woman, it appears to be an Art Deco ring c.1930's.

I'm an antiques dealer and art deco aficionado. The ring is definitely art deco c.late 1920's to mid-1930's. It is also refered to as "Cameo Habille" - a term used to describe a Cameo where the woman is wearing jewelry usually set with small gemstones. Here is a similar ring design but it is sterling silver instead of gold and without the gemstone:

Your ring's cameo is actually "carved shell". That is why some details such as her nose have been rounded or rubbed away (from decades of water and sand). Cameos were carved in a variety of materials including putty lava, green lava, sardonyx, shell, pale pink (angelskin) coral, red (noble) coral, orange (peach) coral, and malachite. Cameos were especially popular during Edwardian and Victorian times (before 1910) but in my opinion, yours is more desireable than the more detailed ones because less were made in that "less classical" style. Your design is unique in that it features simple geometric lines typical of the Art Deco period. The woman's short "bobbed" hairstyle and rhinestone hairpin is another indication of its age.

Again- a VERY COOL ring indeed! Congrats!
