Medieval gold finger ring
Decorative gold finger ring.
The ring, now misshapen, has a broad hoop and a central ridge. The hoop has been trimmed to fine, narrow shoulders either side of the bezel. The outer edges are decorated with two-strand twists of gold wire, soldered into position. The bezel has small side projections, creating a diamond form.
The lack of finished sides, roughly worked interior, and perforation suggest that it is not the final bezel form but the seating for a larger setting (now missing), which would have been riveted through the base.
