It was purchased for\u00a0\u00a335,000 by the Yorkshire Museum. The main part of the ring may have belonged to a brooch or other ornament before being mounted to the hoop. It is possible that the sapphire has Roman origins and that the mount was created much later. Further investigation of the ring is planned.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-21183406\">Escrick sapphire ring&#8217;s mystery history sparks meeting<\/a>&#8220;, BBC News,\u00a025 Jan 2013<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/archaeologicalnews.tumblr.com\/post\/41796287416\/escrick-sapphire-rings-mystery-history-sparks-meeting\">Escrick sapphire ring\u2019s mystery history sparks meeting<\/a>&#8220;, Archaelogical News,\u00a029 Jan 2013<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #444444;\">&#8220;<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yorkshiremuseum.org.uk\/page\/ViewNewsArticle.aspx?ArticleId=52\">The Ring is Royal?<\/a><span style=\"color: #444444;\">&#8220;, Yorkshire Museum,\u00a020 Mar 2013<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This ring was unearthed in 2009 by a metal detectorist in Escrick, Yorkshire.
