Evidently a men’s ring (due to the size) and as the inscription tells, a gift from one to the other with ‘Gratitude’ this was not your everyday event. It became apparent that these two gentlemen were members of the Unitarian Church in Tenterden, England and as such believed in Universalism and the benefits of education as a step to encourage opportunities and equality for the 'common man'. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is so fitting that a bust of Aristotle graces the centre; this philosopher associated with the natural sciences and ideas of reflection within our lives and the exercising of goodly works. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have enjoyed researching this piece, rich with personal memories, interests and significance. Aside from the very cool looks of this ring, it is a collector's piece as such as it will not withstand daily wear and so we are looking for a new home in which this meaning and history can be appreciated. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetal: \u003c\/strong\u003e18ct Yellow Gold wax filled\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRing Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e O and a half or 7.25 and no alteration possible\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.fetheray.mom\/blogs\/news\/hardstone-agate-cameo-portrait-of-aristotle?_pos=2\u0026amp;_sid=5fd571991\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eRead our BLOG article on this ring and find out about Unitarianism. \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fetheray","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55864329208183,"sku":"#gratitude","price":1395.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/4559\/files\/gratitude-antique-hardstone-cameo-ring-of-aristotle-03.jpg?v=1759918144","url":"https:\/\/www.fetheray.mom\/products\/antique-hardstone-cameo-ring-of-aristotle","provider":"Fetheray","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
