Israeli excavators discover 2,300-year-old gold ring at City of David site

Israeli researchers at Jerusalem’s City of David archeological site have uncovered a remarkably well-preserved 2,300-year-old gold ring from the Hellenistic period.

The ring, made of gold and set with a red stone, likely a garnet, shows no signs of rust or weathering.

Tehiya Gangate, an excavation team member, discovered the ring, creating much excitement among her colleagues.

The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) announced that the ring will be displayed to the public during Jerusalem Day in early June.

The ring, small enough to fit a woman’s pinky or a young child’s finger, was found in a joint excavation by the IAA and Tel Aviv University, supported by the Elad Foundation.

This find joins other Hellenistic period ornaments previously discovered in the area, such as a horned-animal earring and a decorated gold bead, Fox News reported.
