Beautiful Late Roman Gold Ring w/ Banded Agate
Product Description
Roman, late Imperial Period, ca. 3rd to 4th century CE. An ornate, openwork high quality gold ring with a large, banded, grey and black agate stone set into the raised sheet gold bezel. The openwork form features swirls that meet under the bezel; the gold band is composed of four strands of incised gold wire that joins at the back of the band. The richness of the gold alloy gives it a warm glow in any light.
Fascinatingly, scholars believe that jewelry made with gemstones was made at small workshops in each town throughout the Roman Empire - for example, a find of gems at a house in Pompeii may be evidence for a local gem engraver's workshop.
Very slight bending to form on the bezel. Stone has some light scratching/weathering to surface. Overall very good condition.
