This exact ring is the Vintage Avon Mrs. Albee Signet Ring, featuring the distinct profile of Persis Foster Eames Albee. 

About the Ring

• The Figure: The relief profile celebrates Mrs. P.F.E. Albee (1836–1914), who was hired in 1886 as the very first "Avon Lady" (back when it was called the California Perfume Company). She pioneered the company's famous door-to-door direct sales model. 

• The Materials: These specific collector rings were manufactured by Avon using 18K Heavy Gold Electroplate (HGE) over a 925 Sterling Silver base.

• The Wear: The dark, tarnished areas visible in your photo are typical silver-sulfide patinas developing where the heavy gold plating has worn down over the decades, exposing the sterling silver core underneath.
