Description
Unique art jewelry makes a great gift. Our contemporary ring celebrates a rock-crystal belt buckle in The Met's holdings of medieval art. The original buckle is East German, made around the year 500 CE, while the gold-foil tongue is a Byzantine addition thought to be from around 500-600 CE. This striking ensemble, which we've nodded to with our own rock-crystal element, exhibits the harmony between the Germanic and Byzantine styles.
