This one is 2,000 years old and I found it near Hadrian's Wall.

But it's Romano-Gallic and they are a dime a dozen...

But what does this ring represent?

I think that ring was not a pictish  jewellery,  it belongs to someone else. there a animal on it.

Symbols and significance

Samhlaidhean is brìgh

There are over two hundred stones across Scotland with some form of Pictish symbol, many scattered across the Highlands. These symbols have added to the so-called mystery around the Picts and their lives. Archaeologists and historians today are able to suggest what they meant and why the stones were put up. The symbols are quite specific in form and restricted to certain realistic animals, geometric shapes and a few everyday objects. Most of the stones have these symbols in pairs such as on The Eagle Stone, The Gairloch Stone and The Skinnet Stone at North Coast Visitor Centre. Because the symbols repeat themselves it is now generally accepted that they represent a form of codified ‘writing system’ for personal names. One theory is that the symbols represent the various clans and lineages of the Picts, with the stones showing alliances between these groups. It is also possible that the stones may have served as a record of marriage between important families or perhaps they were gravestones or territorial markers

Except for some mysterious carved symbols, the Picts didn't leave a written language, so anything archaeologists find can shed light on Pictish society. In the case of the newfound metal ring, archaeologists noticed that it features either a piece of garnet or red glass in its center.

is it a ruby stone?

 

The ruby gemstone has many meanings, including: 

 

 

 

• Love and commitment: Rubies are often given as wedding rings and are the traditional gift for 15th and 40th wedding anniversaries. 
   
   
   
• Passion: Rubies are associated with passion, love, and romance. 
   
   
   
• Protection and wealth: Rubies have symbolized protection and wealth since ancient times. 
   
   
   
• Courage: Rubies are also known as the gemstone of courage. 
   
   
   
• Good luck: Rubies are believed to bring good luck, success, and prosperity. 
   
   
   
• Spiritual and healing properties: Rubies are thought to enhance energy and vitality. 
   
   
   
• Heart: Rubies are associated with the heart, both physically and emotionally. 
   
   
   
• Fire and blood: Rubies have been associated with fire and blood throughout history. 
   
   
   

Rubies are the birthstone for July. They are a variety of the mineral corundum and get their color from trace amounts of chromium. The more chromium, the stronger the red.
