Our collection is a testament to the artistry of civilizations that left an indelible mark on history.

Some of the most fascinating pieces in our collection include ancient Egyptian faience scarab rings, crafted from the finest glazed quartz, symbolizing immortality and protection. These faience scarabs, once worn as amulets, have been transformed into stunning rings that carry the deep cultural significance of ancient Egypt, offering a tangible link to one of the world’s greatest civilizations.
Among the collection, you'll also find Neo-Assyrian rings, such as those featuring turquoise stones, framed by expertly engraved silver or bronze bands. These rings, dating from the 9th to 7th centuries BCE, were not only beautiful but were also symbols of power, protection, and divine favor. The motifs—such as winged serpents or mythical creatures—embody the intricate artistry and religious beliefs of the Neo-Assyrian Empire.
The Byzantine period, known for its opulent and spiritual designs, is also well-represented in this collection. With rings featuring deep garnet intaglios, these pieces evoke the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the late Roman and Byzantine eras. Garnets were highly prized for their symbolic meanings of strength, protection, and passion, and these rings were often used as personal seals or symbols of authority.
From Roman signet rings to Viking ceremonial pieces, our collection showcases the diversity of antique rings from civilizations across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond.
