925 Silver Ring Phaistos Disc Engraved Above and Below Smooth EcLati

An extraordinary piece of jewelry carrying one of the greatest riddles in world archaeology: the 925 sterling silver Phaistos Disc ring. Unearthed in 1908 at the Minoan palace of Phaistos in Crete, the original artifact is a clay disc dating back to the Bronze Age (around 1700 BC). It features 241 pictographic symbols pressed into the clay using movable stamps in a clockwise spiral—regarded by many historians as the earliest predecessor of movable type printing. To this day, the true meaning of these mysterious hieroglyphs (depicting figures, ships, weapons, and plants) remains undeciphered, debated as a sacred chant, a star map, or an ancient talisman.

This masterfully crafted signet ring honors ancient Cretan history by reproducing the iconic spiral pattern on both its top surface and the underside beneath the bezel. The dark oxidized engravings contrast sharply with the mirror finish of its smooth sides. With a disc diameter of 15 mm and a thickness of 2 mm, it combines comfort with historic charm.

Crafted from hypoallergenic, nickel-free 925 sterling silver, it weighs a comfortable 3.0 grams.
