What's up with this ring?

[NME]

I can tell you three things about this ring that I know for a fact:
- It is old
- It is cheap
- It is hand made

Old, because a simple, thin ring like this would have been machine-made in recet times. Also in a deep strata with other old stuff.

But - what's up with the "T" shape hole in it? A fastening provision for something else, or a design feature? Does the "T" mean anything? Interested in your views.

Best Australian coins to use are pre 1946 florins or for smaller rings ,shilling pieces.
They where very popular with soldiers during WW2,particularly with the Yanks.

Here's a partly finished one made from a florin i found on a WW2 American camp a while back.

Cheers Meggie....

Folks - some good ideas, thanks. It is a very thin silver ring, no markings. Could be an ear ring but it seems to fit a finger perfectly.

I was having a browse at http://www.findmall.com/read.php?26,1065201  and there's a ring that made me think of your post NME.  A wider band and a cross.  I tend to think it's just an initial of either the person it belonged to or who ever gave it to them.
