Rare Ancient Medieval Solid Gold Ring Beautiful Red Center Stone Stunning, Unique and Very Solid Design Circa: 1000 - 1650AD This is a Very Rare Ancient Medieval era Gold Ring with a extraordinarily unique design. This ring has a Beautiful Red Center Stone which obviously predates the ring and was formally used in another type of jewelery. Based on the man created hole on one side of the stone, this stone was most likely once used as a part of a necklace or some other form of jewelry. The Stone appears fully intact with no cracks or chips. Some of the stone setting prongs show expected wear from excessive age. Ring is in magnificent condition with a rare and unique star like bezel design. Both the bezel and band exhibit a artwork of designs through the skills and craftsmanship of the ringsmith. This is a magnificent ring with only expected wear from age. This is a one of a kind, stunningly beautiful, heavy, very high quality and extremely well constructed magnificent ring. The prong piece of bezel surrounding the stone appears to be made of silver. The entire star bezel and the thick band were constructed with gold. Ring is at least 350+ years old. Much of the ring has been professionally cleaned to restore, and display it's original brilliance, beauty and detail. If the new owner so desires further polishing, they may use moderate amounts of silver cream and a soft damp cloth, which will further enhance the ring's full gold luster and beauty! The Ring's band has been chemically tested, and results are 100% gold positive when tested at 10k. Ring's Gold karat is less than 10k (around 6 - 8k), and the ring is gold throughout, and not gold plated. In Medieval times they did not have the karat system when creating more solid and durable gold items which were generally a mixture of Gold, Silver and Bronze. This Ring appears to have been constructed from Gold and Silver only, and without Bronze. Without the bronze, the Ring will not have a strong dominant gold tone such as with high karat gold. This Ring has a very vivid gold tone, even without the bronze to enhance the gold appearance. The level of gold tone is more and less dominant depending on lighting conditions. In florescent lighting, the gold tone is very dominant, in incandescent lighting, the gold tone may be less dominant. The displayed pictures were taken under florescent lighting. The winner can also verify gold content by placing a piece of silver next to the Ring. The gold tone level dominates quite vividly, or of course you may have the Ring professionally chemically tested with 10k acid for "low karat value less than 10k". The level of gold tone gives this Ring a very beautiful and uniquely powerful, brilliant appearance. This Ring is 100% Guaranteed to be gold throughout the ring as described, and not gold plated. Ring is 100% Guaranteed Authentic as described, or a FULL refund will be cheerfully issued.
