*A luxurious ring... And this is not just any ring* 👑
The one in the pictures is a new treasure from "The Box Museum". Let's break it down:
*1. The Stone: Petrified Elephant Tusk or Ivory*
The milky white stone is *natural ivory*, likely *Mammoth Ivory or marine ivory*. It's evident from the warm ivory color and its waxy texture.
*2. The Craftsmanship: 925 Silver from Al-Shareef Workshop*
Look at the inner stamp in the fourth and fifth pictures:
- *First Stamp*: "925" engraved inside a shell shape. This is the stamp for genuine sterling silver.
- *Second Stamp*: "Al-Shareef" and below it "Craftsmanship". This is the famous *Al-Shareef workshop* in Medina. Their work is heavy, clean, handmade, and highly sought after.
*The Design*: A royal turban or crown. The handwork on the sides is called "tarbeel" or "mukhammas". It takes days of work.
