  • Wow, this is stunning!

  • This is great. The inscription on the inside is the Seven Seals (as described in my paper).

  • Love the writing inside! Gorgeous!

  • Hi Eva, thank you again for your warm admiration. The rings are beautiful but what makes them so special is the history to them, it deals with the 7 seals and the connection also from Senegal etc. to Ethiopia. West to East Africa and beyond.  Now this is to learn from the study of Lloyd Graham and which he has published.  He gave us the link on the front page of Ethnic Jewels, just scroll down on more and you will find a heading Lloyd Gr.... about Lloyd Gr.... and in this topic he has given us the link to his article.  You will love it because it goes into depts and not just about the beauty. Enjoy it Eva.
