This lustrous ring sets a highly rare circa 2nd century BCE Arabian coin in a gold band. The coin's face features an owl holding an olive spray with an inverted crescent above. This type of coin is believed to have been minted in Saba, by people known as Sabeans, of the southern Arabian peninsula.

Saba, also known as Sheba in the Old Testament, is in present-day Yemen. King Solomon's meeting with the Queen of Sheba around 950-930 BC is well-documented in ancient Assyrian, Greek and Roman texts, with the meeting leading to trade and cultural exchange between their nations. The Sabeans also traded with the Greeks and imitated Athenian Owl tetradrachms later. This beautiful and storied ring brings this vibrant history into modern times and allows the wearer to revel in the triumphs of ancient history. Unique, elegant and extremely rare, the ring is a piece of distinction.
