Exquisite 14K Gold Amethyst Box Ring - Authentic Spanish Galleon Treasure Re-creation
This beautiful box ring is an authentic re-creation of one recovered from one of Spain's legendary treasure galleons. The Box Ring is so-called because of the totally enclosed box-like bezel holding the gemstone, creating a miniature treasure chest that cradles and protects the precious amethyst stone.
Historical Significance:
The sculptural design around the bezel continues seamlessly underneath to form an elegant treasure chest. Princess Catherine, King Phillip II's daughter, can be seen wearing a Box Ring in one of her portraits. While we don't know whether the original ring was made in the New World, the goldsmith's work definitely reflects a stunning blend of Incan and Mayan motifs.
