About the Item

England or France, circa 1350 – 1450. This very heavy medieval signet ring is from the Hundred Years’ War era and likely belonged to a knight. Its large size suggests that it may have been worn over a glove. The ring is finely modeled in high purity silver and is partially fire gilded. It is centered with a tournament shield engraved with a breathing fire dragon and five stars. The dragon appears to be seated on a pointed shield emblazoned with a cross. The central shield panel is flanked by two half moon concave panels carved with leaf designs. This statement ring is all original, intact and wearable. Medieval rings of this caliber are very rare. It is a museum quality piece from this important, historical period. Weight is 26.17 grams Metal analysis: shank – 95.32% silver, 3.58% copper, 0.88% lead, 0.23% mercury; gilded top – 59.20% silver, 29.87% gold, 10.64% mercury.
