A Medieval sapphire ring, 14th century, the trapezoid bezel inset with a similarly shaped cabochon sapphire, to stepped shoulders and narrow band with stamped pellet decoration in lozenge pattern, ring size approximately O, weight 1.5gm. £2,600-£3,000

---

Provenance: This ring was a detectorist find, discovered near King’s Lynn in 2024. It is recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database ref NMS-2084FD, and disclaimed as Treasure, ref: 2024T825.

Condition Report
The assorted paperwork confirms the Treasure reference as 2024 T812 - but the ring is not showing on the PAS database as yet. The sapphire is a little sunk in its setting, but level and secure and the lip around the setting is undamaged. The sapphire is blue and not worn. The bezel mount is crisp, as is the stamped decoration to the shoulders. The band is slightly distorted. Bezel measures 8mm
