We discovered this unusual ring in Stuttgart and were immediately impressed by it, not only because of its beautiful workmanship but also because of its exciting symbolism. The red gold ring band is sculpted and its structure is reminiscent of bundled fasciae. In ancient Rome, these bundles were called fasces and were seen as a symbol of cohesion and strength. Individually, a stick is easy to break, but in a bundle it is indomitable. Fasces were carried by lictors, the servants of high magistrates, and were regarded as a visible sign of order, authority and power. This is an elegant solution. The bundled ring band stands for unity and strength, without any political superstructure. It is crowned by a beautiful amethyst with a large table on the front and a faceted cut on the back. In a simple bezel setting with a finely ornamented frame, it completes this unusual piece of jewellery. The ring was created c. 1910 and has been very well preserved to this day.
