An antique gemstone seven row harem ring, set with amethyst, peridot, ruby, pearl, sapphire, garnet, emerald and diamond, with alternating sets of coloured gemstones, in collet spitch settings and pairs of grain set rose-cut diamonds, in rectangular silver-upon-gold boxes, on narrow gold bands, clasped and hinged at the back, with a French owl import mark for 18ct gold, circa 1910.

The legend is that "harem" or "Turkish" rings, of several gemstone set bands, attached together with a bar, originated in the Ottoman Empire. The Sultan would give the ring to his favourite.

The colour combination is typical of the Ottoman Empire, and can often be seen in Turkish carpets. Pearls represent femininity and they are placed in the middle to show that the female recipient is at the centre of importance to the giver.

With thanks to Google and a very kind lady visitor.
