The eylet has some traces of use

The measurements 4,3 cm high (incl. eyelet), 0,7cm wide and the depth is 0, 3 cm

The weight is 2,6 gram

(1 inch = 2.54 cm)

In the 18th and the first half of the 19th century the color rather than the stone was of symbolic significance. Where there is a clear divergence between the gem books of the ancients and those of the medieval writers in terms of interpretation, the medieval writers stand firmly in the classical eastern tradition of color symbolism. This imagery was linked to belief in gems, astrolysis and the language of flowers, and its use in both sacred and secular contexts led to rigid interpretations that are still current today. All the colors of precious stones and also all the colors of glass paste and enamel have a continental meaning.
