Magical ring

Magical ring

Reclaimed from an old piece of jewellery, a rare ancient Mesopotamian cylindrical lapis lazuli swivel seal, circa 300 B.C. It is incised with a crescent moon and star. The crescent moon invoked the protection of the moon god Sin and the star invoked the protection of the goddess Ishtar [Venus]. The ring swivels so the symbols can be worn against the skin to increase their protective powers. The seal is set to an ethically sourced 100% Australian 18 carat gold swivel mount. I have encircled the shank with the leaves of a lily, the flower of Ishtar. The ring is size N and 1/2 [US 6 and 3/4]. These are custom made, one off rings, no two are ever the same.
