NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: Ruby was greatly valued in the Medieval Arab world. There are many references to ruby(known as“yakut” in ancient Arabic literature of the sixth to eleventh centuries A.D. Including a noteworthy treatise by the 11th century Arab scholar Al-Biruni. Throughout Medieval Central Asia, the Near East, and China ruby was used to ornament armor, scabbards, and harnesses of noblemen. Rubies were laid beneath the foundation of buildings to secure good fortune to the structure. In Elsewhere in Medieval Europe ruby was priced eight times higher than diamond. There ruby was worn as a talisman, as it was believed that the stone darkened when danger was near and then return to its original color when the danger was past. Ruby was also thought to be an antidote to poisoning as well, and to protect the wearer from lightening, plagues, poison, sorrow, and evil spirits. Celebrating our cultural legacy here's a reasonably nice 18th century antique hand faceted red ruby pear. While by 21st century standards it would not be considered a high quality gemstone. It is quite characteristic of an 18th century ruby gemstone.

This also saw the beginning of the art of cartography, as seaman began to plot the courses of their voyages and create the earliest maps of the world. Often mistaken for ruby or sapphire in Medieval and Renaissance Europe, many of the so-called"rubies" and“sapphires” in Europe's crown jewels are actually spinel. The most famous is the Black Prince's"Ruby" a magnificent 170-carat red spinel that currently adorns the Imperial State Crown in the British Crown Jewels.

DETAIL: In the ancient world red spinel was also known as a“Balas Ruby” And was mined in Northwest Afghanistan and Tajikistan, and traded throughout China and Europe. Although history does not document the mining of spinel in Afghanistan until about 750 A.D. it is likely the source for the spinel of the Romans and the rest of the classical Mediterranean. Marco Polo mentioned the famous“Badakhshan” mine which produced this gemstone, describing the gemstone as“Balas Ruby” The name for Badakhshan in the ancient world was“Balascia” from which the name“Balas Ruby” was born. Though spinel is presently less expensive than ruby, it is many times more rare. And despite all of the confusion in Europe over what was spinel and what was ruby, in Burma where both gemstones have been mined for many centuries, spinel was recognized as a separate gem species as early as 1587 A.D.

Beautiful Medieval Gold & Sapphire Stirrup Ring 15th Century Agincourt c. 1415
On offer this week is a superb and rare medieval gold stirrup ring. Set with a lovely blue sapphire. This ring dates to the late 14th or early 15th century(c. 1380- 1430 AD) we can accurately date it through the shape of the bezel(with a four claw type setting) which was fashionable around 1400 AD. Such a ring would have once belonged to a Knight or very rich merchant. Originally this ring was found in Northern France though likely belonged to an Englishman(either serving during the Hundred Years war) or by an English merchant trading within the Anglo Gallic territories- most of Northern France at this time was occupied as English territory. One can only imagine what wonderful sites this ring once witnessed, or the brutality and carnage during the Hundred Years War. Around the time this ring was made, the English(lead by King Henry V) defeated ... morethe French at the famous battle of Agincourt 1415. Much of the gold and jewels plundered in the aftermath, found its way into gold jewellery and coinage. It is in excellent condition for an excavated ring. Though does have some small nicks due to the softness of the gold. The crosshatch decoration on the band is quite worn in places, with the band being slightly mishapen. The genuine sapphire gemstone is a really nice blue colour, though has a surface crack that is not deep but likely due to an impact during its long life. The gold has been tested to around 22k or slightly higher. A great investment piece of historical jewellery from the time of King Henry V and the battle of Agincourt. This ring is suitable for contemporary wear or for museum display. Ring size: US) 9. UK) R 1/2 SIZE: 23mm x 21mm x 7.1mm(bezel 8.5mm x 7.1mm) DATE: c. 1415 AD MATERIAL: Gold tests around 22k WEIGHT: 5.1g This item is guaranteed authentic and dates to the period described.
