We recently acquired a pair of museum-quality bronze engagement rings that have been dated from the 15th century. Probably of Russian origin, they were recently excavated from the site of a medieval battle in the Balkans. This is the women's version; it features delicately carved openwork and is a size 6. The word "Remembrance" is inscribed onto it in Old Slavic.

We carefully cleaned up our treasure, cast it in bronze, and strung it from a 21" sterling silver chain so it can be worn as a necklace. It can also be worn as a ring, but since it's unpolished bronze like the original artifact, it may turn some wearers' skin a dark color. Specify in the "message" section at checkout if you'd prefer a size 5, 7, or 8.
