This ring features a turquoise stone with a silver pin or button in the centre, set in a gold frame / crown decorated with triangular granulations. Each one consists of six small balls. It is designed to be worn on the index finger and is known as shahid, meaning ‘witness’, a reference to the belief that there is only one God.
