Dating to the 9th–11th century AD, this Norse proto-ring is a striking example of ancient multifunctional adornment. Originally crafted in bronze and refinished with 24K gold gilt by a contemporary jeweler, the piece features an open notch—a hallmark of early currency rings, used as both wearable jewelry and trade object. Its simple elegance and historical utility make it a compelling addition to any collection.

Care Instructions:
To preserve the beauty of your antique bronze jewelry with 24K gold gilt:

  • Gently clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive materials or harsh cleaning solutions.

  • Store in a dry, cool place, preferably in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box, to prevent scratches or tarnishing.

With proper care, your piece will retain its elegance for years to come.
