 | Rings: Roman RingsThese Roman Rings were originally worn and lost in the Roman province of Iberia in the early first century. While the originals are bronze, our reproductions are available in 14k gold, sterling silver or bronze. During the Roman era bronze rings lacked the hierarchical status of gold rings which were frequently reserved for those of the patrician class. Bronze was the metal of choice for the vast majority of jewelry made and worn during the Roman era. Because of its affordability vast quantities of bronze jewelry were made, worn and eventually lost. The designs found on bronze rings may have had a personal meaning to the original wearer. Some rings were inscribed with the symbol or number of a legion. Some had a name, a good luck charm or a religious symbol. Some designs may have been chosen for their pleasing appearance alone. We currently offer two Roman ring designs: The Bird Ring and the Starburst Ring. Either ring is available in 14k yellow or white gold for $1,975. (A slight surcharge will be added for sizes larger than 11). They are also available in sterling silver for $145. (If a size larger than a 11 is desired the cost for the ring will be $160.) These prices are subject to change due to fluctuating precious metals markets. |
