The rosette within a lobed border, finished in silver-gilt, reflects the goldsmith conventions of the high medieval period, when gilded silver allowed the appearance of gold at a fraction of the cost. Such rings were worn as statements of standing and personal taste, the gilding catching light against the darkened silver in a deliberate play of contrast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy This Piece?\u003cbr\u003e'Gulizar' is a striking example of authentic medieval silver-gilt craftsmanship, a wearable medieval jewelry piece with documented provenance and a rare surviving flower-shaped bezel. Its bold scale and surviving gilt make it equally suited to the collector's cabinet and the wearer's hand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExplore more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/medieval-crusader-rings\"\u003eMedieval rings\u003c\/a\u003e from our collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aurora Antiqua","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61909437186378,"sku":"R-209-S","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/7140\/9738\/files\/IMG_0820.jpg?v=1779689798","url":"https:\/\/auroraantiqua.store\/products\/medieval-silver-ring-gulizar-12th-13th-century-ce-silver-gilt-flower-rosette-bezel-antique-jewelry","provider":"Aurora Antiqua","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
