It amalgamated his own enthusiastic and knowledgeable collecting in Europe with the acquisition of the collections of the early 17th century Earl of Arundel, the Earl of Bessborough, the Earl of Chesterfield, and of 'Medina, a Jew at Leghorn' (Livorno, Italy). It had previously been put forward for sale by Agnews on behalf of Mr David Bromilow in 1875, when it was bought en bloc for the reserve price of £35,000 (the valuation was done by 'the eminent expert Signor Castellani' - famous today for his exquisite jewellery often inspired by, and sometimes incorporating, elements from classical antiquity). The present ring was bought at this sale; thence by descent for 120 years.
