Rare Ancient Medieval Gold Ring Beautiful and Brilliant Deep Red Center Stone Magnificent and Beautiful Highly Detailed Designs Circa: 1000 - 1650AD This is a Rare Ancient Medieval era Gold Ring with a Beautiful and Brilliant Red Center stone (type and composition unknown). Stone is intact with one small chip in 1 corner as seen in pictures. No other cracks or chips. The inside of the band has intentionally not been cleaned to exhibit the remaining tarnish and patina. This ring is of a very beautiful and solid design, with magnificent hand crafted details and artwork, on the bezel, and completely down each side of the band, by the ringsmith who designed and created this magnificent ancient adornment artwork masterpiece. Ring is very heavy, solid, and in excellent condition with only expected wear from age. Medieval rings of such well preserved condition, weight, size and uniqueness, are rare and difficult to find. Ring is at least 350+ years old. Much of the ring has been professionally cleaned to restore, and display it's original brilliance, beauty and detail. If the new owner so desires further polishing, or to remove the tarnish and patina from the inside band of the ring, they may use moderate amounts of silver cream on a soft damp cloth, or damp medium bristle toothbrush, which will easily remove the remaining tarnish and patina, as well as further enhance the ring's full luster and beauty! The Ring's band has been chemically tested, and results are 100% gold positive when tested at 10k. Ring's Gold karat is less than 10k (around 7 - 8k), and is gold throughout as described, and 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 Ring appears to have been constructed from Gold and Silver only, and without Bronze. Without the bronze, the Ring will not have the strong dominant gold tone such as with high karat gold. This Ring has a vivid gold tone, even without the use of bronze to enhance the gold appearance. The level of gold tone is more and less dominant depending on lighting conditions. In florescent lighting, the gold tone is very dominant, in incandescent lighting, the gold tone may be less dominant. The displayed pictures were taken under florescent lighting and the gold tone in pictures will appear more dominant than actual gold tone. The winner can also verify gold content by placing a piece of silver next to the Ring. Notice the picture with the ring placed next to a silver jewelers loupe. The Gold tone dominates quite vividly. Of course you may have the Ring professionally chemically tested with 10k acid for "low karat gold value of less than 10k". The level of gold tone gives this Ring a very beautiful and uniquely striking, brilliant luster and appearance. This Ring is 100% Guaranteed to be solid gold throughout as described, and not gold plated. Ring is 100% Guaranteed Authentic as described, or a FULL refund will be cheerfully issued.
