This ring description is stored in the archives of the Vatican, however the organizers of the auction somehow managed to get this rarest document. However, this should not be surprising if even the ring of Joan of Arc was found – after so many centuries.
According to historical data, this ring, on which there is the inscription “Jhesus Maria” and images in three crosses, Jeanne gave her parents. It was a Christian gift, but not a jewelry one, since the jewelry value of this jewelry on the finger is small even for that time.

Under her able leadership, the French gained a number of strategic victories, thanks to which Dauphin Karl was able to successfully to crown and become king of France.
