The Merovingian ring, dated between the 4th and 6th centuries, is made with a gold setting in which an oval cabochon garnet is set. The ring presents itself as an extremely rare and precious object, in which the use of gold as a metal symbolizes the wealth of the person or dynasty to which it belonged, to which is added the use of precious stones such as the garnet in question, one of the most appreciated stones in this period for the intensity of its coloration. Merovingian jewellery stands out for its great skill in metal casting, evident in the precision with which the ring frame was forged and of which its perfect conservative condition is evident.
