ROMAN RING, 2ND-5TH CENTURY AD, SIZE 8 1/2

Good quality with 1.9mm rounded band flaring to the lozenge form bezel which is cut with a border and faint remnants of angled lines serving as a signet, which identified the owner and could be used to seal legal matters. (In Ben Hur, the title character identifies himself by stamping Messala’s tablet with his ring which bears the signet of Quintus Arrius.) Professionally refurbished with the 24karat gold surface restored for contemporary wear. Jewelry gift box with Certificate of Authenticity. Rare wearable size.
