This is a lovely Omani ring from the 1950s or 60s. This type of diamond-shaped ring is known as Heysa and was worn on the third finger. Omani women commonly wore a ring on each finger. One style for each ring. They also wore rings on their toes.
This ring is made from silver has hand incised patterns including a central flower motif, which I believe is a symbol of the tree of life. The thick band has granulation on each side. The ring is in good vintage condition and tests as good grade silver. Â
The face measures 1.5 x 1.5 cm (3/8x3/8"). It weighs 6.4 grams. The ring measures 4 on my mandrel at its middle (US Scale).
