An antique Mughal Indian traditional 22k Gold, Pearl, Ruby and Emerald traditional wedding Nose Ring (or Nath), dating from the Mughal Empire around the 17th to the 18th century. Eleven natural pearls dangle from ornate 22k gold spacer beads attached to an 22k gold ring filled with 14 natural pearl blossoms and a set ruby. It is finished with four more natural pearls and an emerald bead for a flash of green colour. Whenever we have visited Jaipur, India, these last 30-odd years we always make a turn at the antique markets to find one or two timeless beauties.
