A beautiful and rare antique silver ring from Afghanistan. Its singularity lies in the ancient so-called Dutch chevron glass bead in the central cabochon that would have usually had a stone attached.
Dutch chevron glass beads are produced in the eighteenth century in the city of Amsterdam in order to imitate rock crystal and other precious stones in the trade with the African and American colonies.
Nice patina

A beautiful and elegant old silver and carnelian agate ring from Afghanistan. It is clearly seen in the polished cabochon stone the double tracing of the hole that indicates that it was used as a bead for a necklace and that it is undoubtedly much older than the ring itself. Carnelian beads from the Indian subcontinent are documented in deposits as disparate and distant as the Niger basin or Mesopotamia and in times as old as the Sumerian civilization.
