It was a lucky day in March for John Stevens. While using his metal detector in a ploughed field in South Leicestershire, England, he located and dug up an exceptionally rare 15th Century diamond crystal ring (below).
Bonhams auction house pointed out that diamonds were highly unusual during that period, as modern cutting and faceting techniques had yet to be developed. Therefore, the diamond in this ring was left in the rough.
A Gothic script inscribed around the inside loop of the ring reads “amour mi tien,” which translates to “love keep me.”
Under Parliament’s Treasure Act of 1996, any non-coin find that is at least 300 years old and contains 10 percent gold or silver must be reported to an official within the district. After the ring was registered, no museums stepped up to purchase it, so ownership reverted back to Stevens.
The ring will now be a highlight of Bonhams fine jewelry sale taking place April 13 in London, and is estimated to bring in anywhere from $24,000 to $32,000. Stevens will split the profits with the landowner of where the ring was found.
