With a Beautiful Endearing Ancient Symbol on a Heart! This auction shall begin at $.01, as we are confident collectors will appreciate the value of this unique and rare item. You are bidding on a beautiful Medieval Era Pure Silver and 24k Gold Promise/Betrothal Ring! This perfect shaped heart boasts a drop of PURE GOLD. On the heart, an ancient symbol is written accented by inscribed stars. This beautiful ring is from a culture rare in antiquities. On the ring t is no direct translation but the best we help you understand is by writing all the meanings: (Great One, Lord, Holy One, Dearest, a respectful prefix for a name, and a reference to the god of prosperity)-- All in one symbol you see on the ring! This symbol is written in the Rigveda language (Ancient Indo-European language of Iran, Iraq, India, etc.) so it must have been a very personal item with a meaning shared in a deep and meaningful romance! This ring is of the Medieval Renaissance age but it began far away from typical European Medieval traditions. Even during the 11th century, Rings in this culture had the same meaning. Medieval Renaissance rings, from those examples that have survived, prove to be a trove of imagination and variation. In ancient days, a ring distinguished an individual in ways that other forms of jewellery did not. Rings represented the language of social code and portrayed one's standing. Under the Empire, a ring was considered a privilege of military distinction (in Roman times) and of Betrothal or Promise (in the Byzantine to Medieval periods). During all of the ancient past, rings signified a position of dignity and at times represented the owner of the ring as if he were actually present (the seal ring). we have a wonderful symbol of promise or betrothal in a ring. The modern wedding ceremony did not exist until the Medieval period, so a couple would exchange rings in a variety of ceremonies; from just the two of them off in the woods or in a field, to a family or large social ceremony. The purpose of marriage was not well defined in ancient times, until the late Medieval period. Marriages in different sub-cultures lasted from a lifetime, all the way down to (ancient Celtic) a "year and a day." Unlike modern jewellery, this ring is made of solid, high grade silver with a drop of pure gold; sparing nothing to its construction. It likely was more of a statement of who the person was, especially because of the deep meaning of the symbol, far more so than today. It is unfortunate that the "popular" jewellery of today is manufactured by production lines with no significance or importance. All too many jewellers of today suffer with such a lack of imagination forgetting that soulful individuals will accent their lives with their jewellery for many years. Guaranteed Authenticity!
