Looks like Arabic, but beyond that I haven't a clue. Maybe one of the others in the group can be more helpful.

I also see Arabic. The very top looks similar to the City characters on Egyptian Silver Hallmarks.

I think I see a hallmark on the jump ring /bail. Can you get a picture or describe the marks?

Also, I would test the Metal. Hallmarks look like early to mid last century Egyptian which are three square marks side by side. Middle mark would be the precious Metal type.

It's probably a quote from the Quran; it usually is.  The story goes Mohammed wore a ring with a carnelian in it, so it's considered a good luck stone among most Muslims.
