Description from the seller
Tudor Period Bronze Wedding Ring with Floral Bezel
Circa 15th century AD
A rare bronze finger ring with a slender rounded hoop expanding towards an elaborate floral bezel arranged around an oval central setting, enclosed by a symmetrical series of rounded petals and pellets.
The Tudor dynasty ruled England from 1485 to 1603, beginning with Henry VII's victory at the Battle of Bosworth and ending with the death of Elizabeth I. The period witnessed profound changes in English society, including the Reformation, the expansion of maritime trade and the increasing importance of personal adornment as an expression of wealth, status and identity. Jewellery was worn across different social classes, with rings serving not only as ornaments but also as tokens of affection, loyalty and religious devotion. Gold and precious gemstones remained associated with the wealthy, whereas bronze and other copper alloys provided more accessible alternatives.
Size: 2cm x 2cm x 1cm
Provenance: Private European Collection; formerly acquired from old UK and European collection formed since the 1970s.
