Medieval Silver Ring (No reserve price)

Medieval Period/ Near Eastern Silver Ring with Red Inlay -13th–16th Century AD Material: Silver Stone/Inlay: Red coral or coral-imitating vitreous paste (see notes) Description A well-preserved medieval silver finger ring, likely dating to the Medieval period (13th–16th century AD), characterized by a robust construction and a distinctive multi-ribbed hoop composed of twisted and beaded wire motifs. This type of decorative band is typical of medieval metalwork from the Eastern Mediterranean and Near East, particularly in contexts associated with Crusader states, Byzantine influence, and Islamic workshops. The interior and exterior surfaces display consistent age wear and natural patination, with no signs of modern manufacture. The ring’s relatively light weight and compact proportions suggest it was intended for everyday wear rather than ceremonial use. Specifications Date: Medieval Period Material: Silver Stone/Inlay: Red coral or coral-imitating glass paste Weight: 3.46 g Inner Diameter: 19 mm Ring Size: EU: approx. size 59–60 US: approx. size 9 Condition Very good condition for its age, with a stable setting and well-preserved decorative elements. Expected surface wear and patina consistent with genuine medieval origin. No modern repairs observed. Please check the photos provided as they play part of the description. Provenance From an old private European collection established in the 1980s . A declaration of legal origin; provenance documentation available in PDF format upon request. Notes Please examine the photographs carefully. Images are highly magnified to highlight craftsmanship and condition; the ring appears more harmonious and refined when viewed in hand.
