"We have been researching these rings for about nearly two years, and the more we learned, the more we were filled with wonder at how these tiny objects were tied to big history and small, personal history of their owners."
"According to Nicolas Norton, a great-grandson of the company's founder, the rings were collected by a father and son from Europe; they wish to be anonymous, but they are using the surname Jonest for marketing purposes."
"Among the most significant pieces are wedding rings: a band from the second or third century made in a pierced openwork style called opus interrasile, and a Byzantine ring from the sixth or seventh century with images of a cross and a married couple."
