The carnelians are wonderful in this ring.
wow this must be a realy old ring, have never seen one like it, lovely stones.
How intriguing to see this type of bead set into a ring. It`s a first for me. Altogether a super ring!
super ring, i like it a lot and it is new for me this kind of beads ona ring. special piece
Very special and lovely!
On a note of caution I would warn that there are both modern and fake examples of these lovely old beads abounding on the market. Many seem to arise in Thailand.
Yes Frankie, I know that. But I specialize in ancient beads, especially Indo-Tibetan ones, and these are VERY MUCH the real thing. They were made in a mechanically etched manner that nobody is imitating, and the patina and everything about them speaks to ancient. But the caution is a good one. This, however, is an authentic old ring, sourced long before they were making those fakes!! Liz
Hi Liz! Didn`t mean to imply that the beads in your gorgeous ring were fakes. It was just intended as a general caution.
Do you wear it yourself? Love it - it`s so unusual.
Stunning ring, wonderful carnelians!
