What I have here are two Silver napkin rings with stones . Both napkin rings are marked 925 and also have in capital letters TH Imprinted on bottom side of the stones.

I am having a hard time identifying the maker/time period and was looking for help. If anyone could help steer me in the right direction you would be much appreciated.
