Second Gold Ring With Red Gemstone Discovered Under City Of David Structure

  • During 2025 digs conducted within the Jerusalem Walls National Park, archaeologists discovered a second gold ring adorned with a red gemstone at the City of David site.
  • The rings originate from a period around the transition between the 3rd and 2nd centuries BCE and were discovered beneath the foundations of a substantial affluent building, potentially intentionally buried in accordance with a Hellenistic tradition.
  • Archaeologists leading the excavation, including representatives of national heritage bodies and academic institutions, stated that the rings, along with other gold and bronze jewelry, provide rare evidence of Jerusalem's wealth during that historical period.
  • Excavator Rivka Lengler described, "Ben... Pulled a gold ring out of the dirt," initially thought modern but identified as ancient, drawing amazement from the entire team.
  • This discovery represents the most extensive group of gold jewelry from this era uncovered in Jerusalem, offering clear evidence of the city’s prosperity and cultural importance thousands of years ago.
