You could say it was the Euro of the Renaissance. Struck from 1252 to 1533, the Florentine florin was THE coin of Europe. At the time, many Florentine banks were international super companies with branches across the continent. Because of this, the golden florin quickly overtook silver bars as the dominant currency for large-scale transactions.
This was the coin used by the Medici: the coin that bankrolled many of the Renaissance masterpieces the world came to know and love.
Borrowing some business acumen from the likes of Michelangelo and Leonardo, we've crafted the Florin Ring, a piece of jewelry that celebrates the rich history of the Renaissance. Made in Italy, this ring honors the artistic, cultural, political and economic rebirth of the Renaissance. Here, sterling silver is handcrafted into an exquisite Florin replica, then covered in yellow gold and rhodium for an added layer of luxurious protection.
Usually, a ring like this would set you back thousands, but because of Stauer's personal connection with Italy's best artisans, we're able to get a deal and pass the savings on to you. Show the woman in your life that she's a work of art in her own right with the Florin Ring.
