Ancient 2,300-Year-Old Gold Ring Unearthed in Jerusalem

Archaeologist Tehiya Gangate discovered a 2,300-year-old gold ring in Jerusalem while working at the Givati National Archaeology Park. The well-preserved ring, set with a red stone, likely belonged to a child from the Hellenistic period. The Israel Antiquities Authority and Tel Aviv University noted that the ring, dating to around 300 BC, reflects the increased popularity of stone-set jewelry following Alexander the Great’s conquests. Gangate described the find as an emotionally significant and rare discovery.
