A rare
and hallowed Gold Ring.
Made
in the Byzantine Empire, most probably during the reign of the Holy Roman
Emperor, Constantine the Great, this lovely little Ring, made from almost pure
Gold, is inscribed in Greek, ”Your Good Health” and with an engraved Palm
Leaf on either side of the inscription, which makes me think that this Ring is
the earliest Christian reference I have ever seen. Byzantine circa 350 A.D.

To the best of my knowledge, I have never
owned an Antique Japanese Ring before. The subject is charming, being a quail
feeding on millet. The quail is modelled in Platinum, being an early example of
its use in Japan and the millet and ring shank are in high carat Gold 20 ct+.
The shank is folded and not soldered shut as a single piece so that the
size can be adjusted easily and I have seen this design in antique Chinese soft
Gold Rings also. Behind the head is a double character mark stamped in a
rectangle which i am told say's 'Junkin' which means 'Pure Gold' and a star mark containing a twin rod
device, but I have no idea what this means although I would speculate that one of the marks is the signature of
the maker. Japanese circa 1900
