A radiating motif crowns a central ringed dot, framed by scrolling, serpentine lines, a composition of the kind early medieval owners wore as both a personal sign and a charm against harm. Worked in warm gold and sized to be worn every day, it carries the quiet confidence of jewellery made to be at once ornament and talisman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetails\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Gold\u003cbr\u003eDate: Early medieval, 8th to 10th century AD (ca.

Ringed dots, radiating rays and serpentine lines belonged to a shared language of protection and good fortune, pressed into metal to guard the wearer and signal their place in the world. Rings like this passed between kin and lords as gifts and pledges, small tokens carrying meaning far beyond their size.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aurora Antiqua","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62724107796810,"sku":"R-272-G","price":1850.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/7140\/9738\/files\/early-medieval-gold-ring-eadric-1.jpg?v=1784129755","url":"https:\/\/auroraantiqua.com\/products\/early-medieval-gold-ring-eadric-8th-10th-c-ad-eu-50-us-5-25","provider":"Aurora Antiqua","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
