GREEK LADY’S RING, 18TH-19TH CENTURY, SIZE 6 ¼

Gilt bronze with 3.0 rounded face band flaring to the shoulders which are formed as spirals supporting tridents. Rounded square bezel engraved with a cursive pi. Along with its use as the symbol for the ratio the circumference to diameter of a circle, pi represents the number 80 in Greek culture. This ring may have been an 80th birthday gift which would explain its fine preservation. The 24karat gold surface restored. Gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
