<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 9439798, member: 2844&quot;]Georgian covers most of the 18th century and part of the 19th century.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is somewhat reminiscent of Fatimid period jewellery, although the construction itself (inner ring, against your finger) is very different. But you don&#039;t see that when you&#039;re wearing it, then it does look a bit like a Fatimid ring. </p><p>The way the crescent and star are made is much more Ottoman/Turkish than Fatimid.</p><p><br /></p><p>Komo just explained that people could wonder.</p><p>I live in a neighbourhood with many Turkish people, but also Kurdish people. Where I live, the ring would be a political statement, and it was probably made to be just that. </p><p>So I agree, some people could ask you why you&#039;re wearing it. It is a beautiful ring, and also a beautiful symbol. The crescent moon and star are a symbol of astronomical orientation, necessary for religious duties. </p><p>If you don&#039;t mind the occasional question, just enjoy wearing it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
