The Fulford ring is a medieval gold ring with emerald and ruby settings found by metal detectorist Paul Ibbotson in December 2016.
It has a ruby and an emerald set into the double-bezel and floriate, chip-carved decoration on each side of the band.
It weighs 4.42 g. X-ray fluorescence of the metal indicated that the ring had a surface composition of approximately 76–79% gold, 12–15% silver, the rest being copper (c. 8–10%).
Medieval lapidaries suggest that emeralds were associated with chastity and rubies with love and prevention of anger, which may have been important qualities in a medieval relationship.
The ring first went on public display in the Yorkshire Museum in September 2019.
