Early Islamic Turquoise Ring in Yellow Gold
Ships Today if Ordered by 1pm EST

A very rare Persian turquoise cabochon carved with the image of a horse or camel, set in high karat gold. The stone is likely early Islamic, Seljuk, or Turkic-Persian nomadic in origin, and dating to 10th to 12th century CE. The mounting is likely later, perhaps dating to the 14-15th century. Weighs 2.2 grams.

Because of the age and delicate construction this ring is not well suited to regular wear.

Currently a size 8 and best not resized.

Materials

Turquoise and 18-22K Gold

Date

Stone: 10-12th Century CE
Mounting: 14-15th Century CE

Condition

Fair-Good. Stone is older than mounting. Stone and mounting are heavily worn with a chip to the stone. Stone appears to be stable in mounting, but the ring should only be worn very cautiously.
