Ring

The chased foliage around the hoop of this ring terminates in two dragon-heads, which would originally have had jewelled eyes. The leaves which emerge from the dragons' mouths support a small cabochon sapphire.
Rings were the most widely worn jewels in the middle ages. They were worn by men, women and children, often in large number and across all the fingers. They vary in size from tiny rings worn on the top joint of a little finger to large rings, to be worn on the thumb or over a pair of gloves.
