Medieval Bling With a Global Twist

A 700-year-old gold ring just turned up at a Slovakian castle, and it’s not your average medieval jewelry. This stunner has a rare purple sapphire from Sri Lanka and lion symbols—total power vibes! Experts think it belonged to a bishop showing off both status and spiritual swagger. Wildest part? The gem probably traveled ancient trade routes from Asia to Europe. Imagine the stories this ring could tell! #HistoryNerd #Archaeology #HiddenGems #History
