Found this 10k gold ring metal detecting in a local lake...it's broken but it has age to it. Im curious about the hallmarks and maybe where and when it was made. The other side is a set if initials. Thanks!

It is brass and not gold, and I agree it does seem like shell, it's not plastic. Curious what the pink is in the background?. The rings pretty small and a little bent, probably been sitting in the lake for close to a 100 years. Here's a better picture of the front and a pic of the back.

It's solid and stamped 14K on the back and it's 1" x 3/4" ,and weighs 3grams.It has a makers mark stamp with a letter A and a skeleton key.Just wondering how old it might be? and what could it be worth? Thanks for any information.
