Chairman's Notes

It is thought that this ring may have originally been owned by a member of the French monarchy since it combines both the heraldic fleur-de-lis motif and the blue colour of the sapphires- both strongly associated with French monarchy since the medieval period onwards.

This is an exceptional museum quality 16th century ring and is in excellent condition.
