Description
The substantial ring measures 5 cm by 4.6 cm, roughly translating to 1.97 x 1.81 inches. Attributed to Central Asia or Afghanistan, this piece is from the 20th century. It is crafted from silver and features fire-gilding, a traditional technique of applying gold to silver, which is further enhanced by decorative silver wirework. The ring is set with flat-cut lapis lazuli, a stone that has been prized since antiquity for its deep blue color. Such rings are often more than just decorative; they carry cultural significance and are sometimes considered to have protective properties. This piece is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Central Asia and the skilled craftsmanship that continues to be passed down through generations.
