AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is a 19th- to 20th-century Middle Eastern/Islamic style antique-style seal ring, reproduced using traditional engraving techniques.

The green center stone at the top of the ring is an intaglio, engraved with symbols/text. These seal stones were primarily used in ancient times as "signatures," stamped on wax seals or documents, representing identity, ownership, or blessings.

The green stone is green agate; in Middle Eastern and Islamic culture, green itself carries sacred and auspicious connotations.

The ring setting is made of brass alloy, with finely engraved patterns, exhibiting typical Islamic/Persian decorative styles. The openwork edging, beading, and floral patterns are all hallmarks of this type of antique ring.

The overall patina is natural, showing clear signs of wear, characteristic of antique jewelry.
