Ancient Gold Ring with Square Bead

Ring size: UK S½ / US 9.25 / EU 60.5.

Weight: 3.23 grams

A finely crafted and tactile example of ancient goldwork, featuring a crisply formed square bead fully articulated on a smooth, silk-like gold band. The ring originates from a significant private collection of ancient gold jewellery assembled between the 1970s and 1990s, comprising pieces from various cultures, many with exemplary provenance. While the precise origin of this ring remains uncertain, its style and construction are strongly suggestive of Ancient Greece or Cyprus—consistent with many other pieces in the same collection.
