Default ring depiction

From the exceptionally poor quality photo you provided of this signet ring. It appears to depict two ancient Roman or Greek warriors/male figures, one superimposed on the other, on an Onyx or Hematite background. Or it could be a depiction of some Spanish Conquistador given that the beard is a prominent feature on the central figure. I'd put a date of around mid 60's to early 70's on it.

I thought it looked like a French cour de bois on the ring...

Default ring

Looks like it is a depiction of some old Roman Centurion figure as I came across a silver signet ring with very similar figures. Your ring is likely not a rare piece of jewelry, probably only 14k so of little value unless one knows the history of the ring or owner.
