Ancient gold ring excavated in Jerusalem

MORE ANCIENT BLING: Ancient gold ring, 2,300 years old, discovered in City of David. “This is an unusual and deeply moving find, not one found every day,” the IAA stated in their announcement (Judy Siegel-Itzkovich, Jerusalem Post).

Or possibly by a woman wearing it on her pinkie.

Another important find from the Givati parking lot excavation.
