This is a high-quality. Handcrafted ring. The ring itself is 10kt solid gold, the handcrafted grapes and leaves are 12kt solid gold. Size 8. NOTE: We can send the ring out for resizing(incurs nominal extra cost) DESCRIPTION: Metalworking techniques reached northern Europe by about 2000 B.C. And the earliest jewelry found there dates from between 1800 and 1400 B.C. These artifacts include lunulae(spectacular, crescent-shaped neck ornaments of beaten gold) most of which were found in graves in Ireland, where gold was once plentiful. There is evidence that the Celtic and early British people were trading with the Eastern Mediterranean races by this time, exchanging gold for faience(glass) beads. By 1200 B.C. jewelry making was flourishing in Central and Western Europe. The fibula-brooch(forerunner of the“modern” safety pin) seems to have been invented at about this time. Twisted gold torcs, modeled on Scandinavian bronze prototypes, were made in the British Isles and northern France from the fifth to the first century B.C. These massive circlets for the necks and arms were the characteristic ornaments of the chiefs of the Celtic race, and were symbols of wealth, power and courage across Celtic Europe. Celtic craftsmen also used enamel and inlay to decorate jewelry. In celebration of that heritage here is a gorgeous. High quality 10/12kt solid gold ring. Please do not confuse this with cheap gold electroplate. This is a high-quality, hand-made ring, crafted right here in the USA, and constructed to last a lifetime. The ring itself is constructed of 10kt solid gold, while the handmade red and green colored leaves and grapes are constructed of solid 12kt gold. This style of handcrafted multi-colored gold jewelry originated in the Black Hills

As it existing in three separate countries with a common spirit and tradition; Ireland, Wales, and Brittany, is brilliantly revealed in these exciting epic chronicles with 120 evocative photographs of artifacts, manuscripts, and landscapes that bring the Celtic world to life as never before. Ireland, land of ancient warriors who value nothing higher than fame and courage as they battle magical forces pitted against them. Ancient warriors whose deeds are as noble and mysterious as the hill forts and standing stones scattered around the landscape. Ancient warriors whose love of exaggeration and boasting compare with the most extravagant blarney. These are the Celts revealed by the early Irish chronicles. Wales. A land of bands and druids hemmed into a beautiful, mountainous country where King Arthur roamed with his knights. The Welsh warriors saw themselves as defenders of the west, heroes who would one day hurl the foreign oppressors back into the sea. These dramatic chronicles date back to the Middle Ages, but they are truly much older than that. They tell of love and betrayal, of quests and challenges, of supernatural creatures and of murder. Battling dragons. Tyrants, and sorcerers, the warriors of Brittany were people of the sea. Hermits, missionaries, mystics, they passed down their tales of mystery and magic orally through the centuries.
