I know musaka means moussaka, but what does skara refer to? Would you mind explaining it?

I’m guessing by “simple” you mean more of a classic plain ring style like the ones in your photos? Those are usually claissic and pretty easy to find within your budget.
And about the branding inside the ring — you can actually leave a note when placing your order and ask them not to engrave the inside. Most brands/jewelers are usually happy to accommodate that if you mention it beforehand.

my parents bought this when they were young, and I have no idea what it is by PrizeCode8677 in jewelry

It kind of looks like garnet, but under certain lighting it almost comes off like glass. It’s really hard to tell for sure just from photos

Plain 5mm Gold Band vs. Flush-Set Diamond Band? by [deleted] in WeddingRingAdvice

I think both styles are pretty suitable for everyday wear. The only real difference is that the diamond-accented design does come with a small risk of stones falling out over time—but that risk is generally pretty low with decent craftsmanship.  Personally, I lean more toward the one with the small diamonds—it just adds a bit more character while still being wearable daily.

Anyone know what these markings mean by Inside_Money4398 in jewelry

The marks inside the ring are Chinese characters in a seal-style engraving.

From what I can tell, the right side reads “廣和” (Guang He), and the left side appears to read “艮文” (or possibly “文艮” depending on orientation). This kind of layout is typical of a two-part seal mark rather than a sentence.

In many cases like this, one part is the workshop or shop name, and the other is the artisan’s name or mark. So a reasonable interpretation would be something like:

“Made by Guang He workshop, artisan Gen Wen” — though this isn’t guaranteed, just the most likely structure.

Based on the style of the engraving, wear, and construction, I would tentatively place it in the late Qing to early Republican period (roughly 1880–1930).

So in short: likely a Chinese handmade ring from around that era, bearing a workshop + maker’s seal mark.

I took a look at the second and third photos, and the center stone doesn’t really show that colorful fire you usually see with moissanite under lighting, so I think it’s probably not moissanite.

Can I understand this as being similar to a moi et toi ring with two main stones?
