Ancient bands are a unique wonder, a wearable piece of history from centuries, sometimes millennia, past. With examples from the Greek, Roman, Viking and Medieval eras on offer in the Berganza collection, each with its own unique design, these bands are a true one of a kind and highly sought after by collectors, historians and connoisseurs of fine jewellery.
Mostly crafted from high carat yellow gold, which was easy to manipulate with tools of the era, many ancient bands feature some form of engraving. Roman rings inscribed with latin phrases, Medieval bands with iconographic designs and Viking rings with decorative abstract motifs are just some of the unique pieces you will come across in the Berganza collection.
Increasingly, ancient bands are prized as wedding rings, especially for gentlemen in search of something completely unique and meaningful. Coming in different widths, most rings have taken on a beautiful patina over the years and with many of these rings as wearable today as they were upon their creation, they are a fine choice indeed.

Ancient bands are rings of metal created over 1000 years ago in ancient civilisations, including Egyptian, Greek and Roman.These bands can feature unique engraved designs and craftsmanship that reflects the culture and artistry of the time.
Check the metal content as certain metals were only used at certain times. Gold bands tend to be of a high carat as it was easier to manipulate with the tools available at the time. If in doubt, ask an ancient jewellery specialist.
To preserve its condition, avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, and clean it gently with a soft cloth. Regular professional inspections are also recommended.
Resizing may be possible, but it depends on the material and design of the band. Consult a jeweller with experience in antique or ancient pieces for advice.
