SOLD Antique Silver & Ancient Coin Flip Ring

  • Sale
  • Regular price $795.00


An ancient coin or medallion has been encased in a silver flip mount.  In researching this piece, we believe it to be a 7th century Northern France coin or possibly a monogrammed medallion which was later made into a ring, probably during the Victorian Era.  Purchased from the estate of an antique jewelry collector, it fits comfortably on a size 7 finger, and can also be flipped to wear as a pendant from a ribbon or chain.  A wonderful, mysterious piece and a must-have for any serious antique jewelry collector!
