Lot 60 EMERALD, GARNET AND PEARL RING 5TH TO 6TH CENTURY A.D.
Reference: ART6001315
This exquisite ancient ring, dating back to the 5th–6th century A.D., is a remarkable example of early Byzantine or Late Roman craftsmanship. Fashioned from rich, warm gold, the band is set with vibrant emeralds, deep garnets, and luminous pearls, arranged in an ornamental cross-like design. The cabochon-cut stones reflect light with subtle elegance, while the natural asymmetry and hand-wrought texture of the setting emphasize its artisanal origin. A piece that speaks to both opulence and spiritual symbolism, it likely held ceremonial or high-status significance in its time.
