<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ownedbybear, post: 7725844, member: 29&quot;]Did someone dig or mudlark those rings? They look like finds. He&#039;s Hermes/Mercury, I&#039;ve a similar ring, although mine is only 19th C. Mercury is common on Roman rings here. I&#039;ve a vague remembrance that legionaries thought he gave protection. There&#039;s some in the V&amp;A and the British Museum. </p><p><br /></p><p>Do NOT whatever you do try and clean these yourself please, you need someone who knows antiquities. No jewellers! </p><p><br /></p><p>Your Mercury may well be as old as Roman and the single inset diamond is at least mediaeval. The other with the blueish stone looks relatively more recent. Like a few hundred years old, rather than millennia. My first thought was Persian on it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Shame you&#039;re not in the UK, we&#039;ve a wonderful service for small antiquities. You need a museum. </p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=2844]@Any Jewelry[/USER][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
