The ring bears a very elaborate pattern all the way around the band which is entirely extant except that it is moderately worn, especially at the sides of the bands just below the trio of accent stones. It appears likely that this ring was worn next to other rings on adjacent fingers, and so there is a little extra wear to the bands where the rings would have contacted on another. Wearing rings on many fingers, even adjacent fingers, even multiple rings on the same finger, is a Byzantine/Eastern European tradition which can be traced all the way back two thousand years to ancient Rome.

Likewise there is a very elaborate“beaded” embellishment around the bezel skirt. The metal work evidenced on the bands of the ring is really exceptional, sharply preserved, and very intricate. The metalwork around the bezel skirt evidences just a little wear, but you have to look closely to see any wear. The ring was certainly designed to be worn by a man. And is bold and handsome enough to be worn by a man today. However the design is elaborate, elegant, and intricate enough to be worn with good taste by a woman as well.

We can see that the piece has experienced some wear caused by regular usage throughout the years. But all original detail work remains intact. The craftsmanship and style of this ring is incredibly unique, with a vast amount of effort required to create such a visually stunning jewel. The setting which encompasses the zircon stone is impeccable, and there is no risk of the stone loosening. Very often. The setting surrounding the stone on an artisan piece like this will be flawed, often showing significant denting or pitting. None of that is present here, and the setting is very cleanly wrapping the gem. The stone is still held very tightly. ... moreThe ring is in original condition, meaning that I have not cleaned, polished, or restored it in any way. As most of you know, nearly any type of antique restoration can diminish the item's value. PROVENANCE/SOURCE: The ring at auction was created sometime between 1900-1920 in the Crimean Region. North of the Black Sea. The artisans of this region were of the Turkic ethnic group, most specifically Tatars. This area, particularly the Crimean Peninsula, has long been fought over and partitioned by numerous empires and nations. Among others, these include Russia, the Ottoman Empire, and modern-day Ukraine. The peninsula, being home of the Crimean Tatars, was historically a stronghold for Islam.

CONDITION: The condition of this piece is good and overall quite commensurate with its age. It's obvious that the ring was worn throughout the past century and a half and shows some signs of that wear. The setting which encompasses the glass"gemstone" is fully intact and in nice shape. Holding the the stone in place is a flush and rounded setting. Too often. The setting surrounding the stone on an artisan piece like this will be flawed, possibly showing significant denting or pitting. No such flaws are present on this example, and the setting is very neatly wrapping the gem. All original stamping on the setting is intact with slight ... morefading of patterns.

A unique blending of these two styles is evident in most ... moreof the the region's jewelry. And this excellent example is no exception. Rings created in this small area were formed to be substantial and meaningful. The jewels were created to be worn regularly and enjoyed. The earliest Turkic people had limited personal space and if nomadic. Even fewer possessions. The only jewelry purchased or created would be that which was worn constantly by its owner. DESIGNATION/STYLE: The ring is formed with a charming silver alloy. The choice jewelry alloys of this period were created by combining bronze. Silver or gold with one another or with base metals such as nickel, tin, copper, or zinc. Though their purity may be more difficult to gauge, the result would be a material which was more solid and certainly more durable than the precious metal on its own. These semi-precious alloys became a trusted and opulent material throughout the Near East and the surrounding areas. All the cultural jewels were handmade, so some imperfections could be expected. Such alloys would regularly be used by artisans and craftsmen alike, during and after the medieval period. High-quality formed glass stones. Such as the example on this ring, were among the most prev
