This eye-catching ring features genuine Ancient Egyptian faience beads, over 2,500 years old, expertly preserved in clear resin to highlight their brilliant colour and fine detail.

Date: c. 1000–500 BC
Fit: Adjustable; suitable for most sizes

The vivid blues and greens of the faience beads are beautifully contrasted with a modern chrome-plated setting, allowing the piece to shine as both a historical artefact and a contemporary statement ring. The use of resin ensures durability while showcasing the ancient elements in striking clarity.
Provenance:
From the private collection of a London gentleman; acquired in the early 2000s. Previously part of a UK collection formed in the 1970s.
Condition: The ancient faience beads are in excellent condition, carefully preserved within resin. The ring setting is modern, new, and adjustable.
