🥇 BANNER Amazing old gold ring!

[Ramsundi]

Okay guys, I don't even have words anymore... I found something crazy yesterday, I don't know yet for sure how old this gold ring is but my best estimate is 17th or 18th century. Here are the pics:





And here is link for the video. Video is in Finnish but you can still see better those details in ring and you can see and feel my excitement when I found it

NLSQ SCDF

Reminds me of Latin abbreviations like SPQR (the Sentate and People of Rome) and INRI (Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews).

Thank you to everyone for congrats and banner! This is so amazing find, I have been going through history books and tried to find out the story of this ring and I think I got lucky and found out the original owner of this ring! It's not 100% sure yet but quite close. And no, Frodo didn't lost his ring in Finland

So, there is no stamps inside the ring, not any kind of. There is just initials, NLSQ and SCDF. I found out that in my town, there has been chaplain Abraham Qvist, he was chaplain during 1701-1722. His parents were Nils LarsSon Qvist and Sara ChristiansDotter. Does that ring the bell? I believe that this ring has been Abrahams mourning ring, for the memory of his parents. Only missing clue is that I haven't found his mothers last name from any documents. But I will keep on searching! I also found one source which told that someone robbed Abraham during The Great Northern War. Russians occupied this town and lots of people ran away to Sweden, included Abraham and his family, this happened on 1714. He came back 1721 and died here 1722. I'm still trying to find documents of that robbery, how amazing it would be if there is a comment about this ring!

nice find and research
thought i would research their names, wow the name scheme in sweden is a little
hard to follow, not sure these are the people

I have looked at this a dozen times. Just realized I had not commented. The ring is just stunning. That's the kind of stuff that needs to be banner. Thank you for sharing.

I agree with Red-Coat. Niello, circa 17c. What a killer find! I am a jeweler and have handled lots of antique jewelry, even back to the 18c... never the 17c. And never Niello. Just amazing the condition, but to be expected of fine craftsmanship and of gold. I forget how young a country I live in sometimes here in the USA! I live in North Carolina, so I can find items from the 17c, but its very rare. I don't think I've personally found anything other than horseshoes that could even possibly be dated back that far! Again, WHAT A FIND! If it wasn't banner already, I'd be voting now haha. Happy, safe hunting my friend! Keep finding the history of your country... and always nice when its gold 😄

Just WOW! Everyone else has used all the words. My wedding rings are done in the same way, black between the gold. Thanks to the poster who explained the process. I see it's been a month since last comment. Have you heard back from Museum/authorities? Again just amazing and thanks for posting. Congrats on Banner and good luck.

Are you a jeweler? Or do you mean your personal wedding rings? I would love to learn this process. I am making rings in my garage. I'd love to master the method.
