It’s very likely that the ring belonged originally to an Anglo-Saxon Archbishop of York, one of the Earls of Northumbria or a senior member of one of Anglo-Saxon England’s royal families.Although the ring probably dates from the early 10th to the mid 11th century, it could be much earlier, conceivably even from the 7th century. 90% gold, 8% silver and 2% copper.weighing 10.2 grams, is 25.5 millimetres in diameter, and is adorned with a six millimetre deep-blue sapphire and pieces of red glass, all set into the gold. Estimated Value: £35,000 .
