In general, engravings on rings are on the inside edge and consist of the name or abbreviated name of the manufacturer together with the type of metal used. Thus, your standard 14 karat gold ring will have "14K" on the inside edge next to a name, say Tiffany or James Allen. Engravings on the outer edge of the ring less common, mainly because of space considerations and the fact that to many, it detracts from the ring's appearance.

Based on the question, the "SW" is either an abbreviated from of a name - i.e., Swarovski - or an abbreviation related to a category or formation process, such as "silverware".
