Rings of this type circulated widely across the Balkans, the Eastern Mediterranean and Western Europe between the 11th and 14th centuries, serving both as personal adornment and, occasionally, as small floral seals. 'Florian' belongs to this tradition of wearable medieval jewelry, its rosette both decorative and quietly symbolic of renewal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy This Piece?\u003cbr\u003eAn authentic medieval bronze ring for sale in this small size is uncommon, and the intact rosette bezel gives 'Florian' a graphic clarity that photographs and wears beautifully. It is an antique ring with engraved iconography that sits lightly on the finger, ideal for a collector seeking a genuine Medieval survival with documented European provenance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExplore more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/medieval-crusader-rings\"\u003eMedieval rings\u003c\/a\u003e from our collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aurora Antiqua","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62742081700170,"sku":"R-256-B","price":170.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/7140\/9738\/files\/medieval-bronze-ring-florian-with-six-lobed-rosette-bezel-viewed-from-above-1.jpg?v=1784226282","url":"https:\/\/auroraantiqua.com\/products\/medieval-bronze-ring-florian-11th-14th-century-ce-rosette-bezel-authentic-flower-seal-ring-ancient-jewelry","provider":"Aurora Antiqua","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
