Very Rare Ancient Medieval Gold Ring Beautiful Deep Green Center Stone Hand Crafted Workmanship For Large Finger Circa: 1000 - 1650AD This is a Very Rare Ancient Medieval era Gold Ring with a stunning Deep Green Color Center stone. Stone predates the ring because it was obviously used with some other form of jewelry based on the mounting hole seen on one side of the stone. Stone appears to be natural but I am not certain. Type of stone is not known. The Stone is fully intact with no cracks or chips. The only noted flaws with this ring is that a on one side of band t are only 2 full red stones, and the 3rd setting has a stone, but it appears to be chipped. The setting would need to be cleaned more throughly to fully expose the stone. The opposite side has one red stone and setting. The adjacent setting is obviously damaged. This side has the third setting and stone missing from underneath. Some of the prongs in the center stone setting show wear from age. This does not affect the stability or strength of the ring, nor does it affect the center stone's setting. The above mentioned flaws could be easily restored by a reputable jeweler. Other than above noted flaws, Ring is in very good condition with only expected wear from age. Ring is at least 350+ years old, and is in very good condition. Much of the ring has been professionally cleaned to restore, and display it's original brilliance, beauty and detail. I f the new owner so desires further polishing, they may use moderate amounts of silver cream and a soft damp cloth, which will further enhance the ring's full gold luster and beauty! The Ring's band has been chemically tested, and results are 100% gold positive when tested at 10k. Gold karat is below 10k (around 6 - 8k), but the ring is gold completely throughout the ring, not gold plated. In Medieval times they did not have the karat system when creating more solid and durable gold items which were generally a mixture of Gold, Silver and Bronze. This particular ring was constructed from Gold and Silver only, and without Bronze. Without the bronze, the ring will not have a dominant gold tone such as with high karat gold. This ring has a very vivid gold tint even without the bronze to enhance the gold appearance. To verify gold content, place a piece of silver next to the ring and the gold coloration stands out quite vividly, or of course you may have the ring professionally chemically tested with 10k acid for "low karat value less than 10k". The level of gold tint gives this ring a very beautiful and unique brilliant appearance. This Ring is 100% guaranteed to be solid gold throughout the ring, and not gold plated. Ring is 100% Guaranteed Authentic as described, or a FULL refund will be cheerfully issued.
