Cypriot Life Ring

ENLARGE

For more than 2,000 years Cyprus has been a way station for ships circulating around the eastern Mediterranean. Sailors, warriors, and merchants of many nationalities, including Greeks, Phoenicians, Egyptians, and Persians, passed through Cyprus, established settlements there, or took control of the island. The exposure of Cypriot craftsmen to foreign artistic styles from both East and West is reflected in the distinctive hybrid forms of jewelry that, by the Classical period, represented an amalgam of Greek, Near Eastern, and indigenous styles. Our ring is a reproduction of an original that was found in Cyprus and was probably made there during the first century B.C. or A.D. The translation of the Greek inscription is "life." Produced in cooperation with The British Museum, London.

Width 1/2 in. Available in 14 kt. gold, size 6, 7, or 8. Sterling silver not available.
