Dear Customer, Thank you for taking a look around my shop. I appreciate your interest! I use Authentic Ancient Coins and Objects unless stated. I have worn both and you can tell the difference. The ancient coins seem to possess a power (if you will) as they have passed thru many hands and have been owned by many people over thousands of years! I feel the essence of all these people are infused in the objects! You can buy cheap rings with modern copies and some even look cool, but believe me I have worn both and there is a difference in how they make you feel! My pricing reflects the cost of obtaining authentic ancient items and I only use solid Gold, Platinum and Silver. These metals are an investment and hold their VALUE! My goal is to make something you will be proud to pass on to your family. Sincerely, Di Authentic Ancient Roman rare Brass Coin set in a Vintage Sterling Silver Setting a size ten easily resized (by buyer)sine I only use sterling silver and gold settings. Really nice statement ring
