A late 13th/early 14th century gold, diamond and amethyst ring, the hoop of D-shaped cross section, decorated to the shoulders with rounded grooves, centred with a circular openwork quatrefoil shaped bezel with central turreted collet set with a diamond and four outer smaller collets, each containing an amethyst, (one vacant), inner diameter 1.8mm. £4,000-£6,000

---

Provenance: This ring was discovered by a metal detectorist near Hayton, East Riding, Yorkshire. It has been recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database Ref: YORYM-2018CC and disclaimed as Treasure.

The ring, with its arrangement of collets, is similar to a type of pewter pilgrim badge dating to the 14th-15th century, representing the five wounds of Christ.
Additionally when viewed from the side, the bezel resembles a monarch’s crown.

Charles Oman records several rings of this type with satellite collets and dates them to the 13th century.



Literature:
Charles Oman; British Rings 800-1914, pub. 1974, Harper Collins.
