...no help here. IS it GOLD? Regardless, a great looking ring and you can always make up your own version as to what it says. I read it as " If found, please return to Jan."
 
The Khanda.

Hi Persi, This is all about your very nice ring find! Lynn


The Khanda (khaṇḍā) is one of most important symbols of Sikhism alongside the Ik Onkar. It became known as the Sikh National anthem, "Deh Shiva Bar Mohe" as the emblem of the Khalsa. [1] It is an amalgam of three symbols,[2] represented by three different weapons. It is commonly found on the Nishan sahib or flag of the Sikhs, anywhere in a Gurudwara.

There are three different weapons used in a Khanda, which also have a symbolic meaning:[2]

A double-edged sword called a Khanda in the centre
A Chakkar which is a circular weapon
Two single-edged swords, or kirpans, are crossed at the bottom and sit on either side of the Khanda and Chakkar. They represent the dual nature/duties of the Gurus, Miri and Piri.
The Khanda represents knowledge of God, the Chakkar represents the eternal nature of God and oneness of humanity, the two swords represent Miri (political sovereignty) and Piri (spiritual sovereignty).[3]
 
Thanks
