Through an object such as this-- touched, worn, admired centuries ago-- the imagination travels backward through time. This intriguing gem smoothed and carved perhaps during the age of Solomon, links us directly with that vanished world. In a golden ring of timeless elegance, it graces a modern hand with the same bold beauty as it did an ancient one. To wear it today is to link oneself with the unbroken chain of human history.
