I guess you didn't read the whole thread Mate it's all done and dusted. The ring went through the treasure act(2 years) and it was returned to me , and I sold it for £2500

That is a very sweet ring Silver Searcher. My friend found a ring from the 12th or 13th century 2 years ago. They came back with an initial eval of 1500 pounds. We had seen examples at much higher prices and he appealed the ruling. The came back with 3000 pounds and he was still not satisfied. the eval committee brought in a specailist on early mideval rings and he said " These rings in this condition are very rare and that at auction it could fetch 15,000 pounds. The eval committee finally threw out his appraisal and the final say so came from the head of state or whoever makes final determination. 3,000 pounds. But at least if is available for everyone to see.

Congrats on such a incredable find!

Thanks for the reply Ron what type of stone was in your friends ring was it a saphire. The one in mine was a cabochon saphire, apparently the only place these stones were available from during the Medieval period, was Cashmere
