The Gold Ring with Gemstone from the Early Hellenistic Period

A gold ring set with a gemstone from the early Hellenistic period was discovered in an archaeological excavation in the City of David, located in the Jerusalem Walls National Park. The Greek ring is made of gold and set with a red gemstone, likely to be garnet.

Due to gold being a noble metal, the ring has been preserved in excellent condition over the 2,300 years since it was used, with no rust or other time-related damages.
