What a memory Mirana has! Added to Pepper's example, we can compare 3, which all look like the same hand to me. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Oh, I do, I do, as long as it's a cameo. The one way up does look like 'Silz' in his decrepitude. She's gaw-jus. :)
Here's a garnet & turquoise ring described as Medieval:...
It would be reasonable to look at Viking rings for the iron ones. Roman soldiers also wore iron rings.
Suspect it was the convention in that time & place for what a lady did with her unoccupied hands.
More generally, it means he is endowed by Apollo with the gift of poetry. (which was inseparable from music in Apollo's day.)

And you are a bit embarrassed because...? I assure you I am not miffed about anything, & you are quite right that it's a sand dollar. It's the...

I have imagined these were made for sale at seaside holiday spots. They used different types of shell for the bowl. The gold on the claw looks...
Great pix, just what was needed. The cameo is hardstone, but the ring evidently enjoyed the favor of its owner & got knocked around while being...
