    • A rare surviving example of a medieval gold ring, dating to around 1280. Crafted in high-karat gold, this piece features a distinctive raised box bezel—often referred to as a ‘pie-dish’ or moule à tarte setting—housing a natural almandine garnet cabochon.

      In Medieval times, gemstone rings were considered to have amuletic and talismanic powers. Books known as ‘lapidaries’ listed the powers attributed to each stone. Garnet, often referred to as "carbuncle" in medieval texts, was highly prized for its protective and healing properties. The stone's fiery red color evoked powerful symbolism related to blood, life, and Christ's sacrifice.
      This ring remains in remarkable condition for its age, with the amethyst securely set and the gold displaying an elegant patina.

      • UK size K½ / US size 5.5
      • Bezel measures 8mm x 7mm
      • Garnet cabochon: 3mm x 2mm
      • Tests as 22K gold
      • Weight: 1.38 grams
