This high-quality Numari-branded ring is both an impressive powerful piece of jewellery and a tangible connection to the turbulent and mysterious time of Ancient Rome. It is crafted in 14kt yellow gold and sterling silver, featuring a genuine silver coin struck in Ancient Rome over two millennia ago. The ring brings together antiquity and modern design, as a solid gold bezel surrounds the coin, complementing the sterling silver elements of the ring. As with all Numari Jewellery, the utmost care has been taken to ensure that this ancient coin has not been damaged by the setting in any way. This bold and dynamic ring weighs approximately 15 grams and measures approximately 2.2cm across. This ring has been impressively set with a genuine, very high-quality (almost museum-quality) ancient Roman coin, depicting the profile of Emperor Severus Alexander (208 – 235 CE). Emperor Severus Alexander became emperor when he was only 13 years old and was the last emperor in the impressive Several Dynasty. Times of peace during Severus Alexander’s reign were prosperous but were shadowed by the rising threat of the Sassanid Empire and by growing invasions from the tribes of Germania. While campaigning against Germanic tribes, Alexander attempted to pacify by engaging in diplomacy and bribery which alienated his army and inevitably led to a conspiracy to assassinate him. Young Severus Alexander was 26 when he died. This spectacular ring will be enjoyed both as a personal adornment and as a quality piece of ancient history.
