Rings were one of the most popular Medieval pieces of jewellery, worn by both men and women across all levels of society. Extravagant rings decorated with gemstones, at first glance, immediately gave the impression of a strong social standing. The use of bronze however suggests this ring was possessed by somebody towards the mid to lower end of the hierarchy ladder.
