I don’t know what, but my guess is cuneiform (a system of writing originating about 3200 BC and is one of the earliest systems of writing) but it looks to be out of order compared to regular cuneiform, or it could also be a picture. It looks a bit like a man carrying some sort of stick to me. Does your friend know anything about where/when the ring was made or where it might have originated? We can rule out several options if we know where it might have been made (if it isn’t of Russian origins) and when.
Cool, glad I could try and help! Even knowing the material, when or where it was made. Anything she can tell you could help offer a clue.
Am I looking at the right thing as I can see a figure? Head, shoulders, staff in right hand?
It occurred to me that there's a chance it could be some kind of manufacturing stamp or something of that nature. I seem to remember that metalwork sometimes has marks and such on which indicate date and manufacturer...if it can't be traced to anything else.
It looks like Assyrian or Old Persian cuneiform to me, but I can't tell much else about it. It does look as though someone made the marks by hand... here's the wikipedia page about variations of cuneiform, maybe you can compare the marks to their alphabet charts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuneiform#Akkadian_cuneiform
