The Mars Ring is made of red gold, as this color resembles the radiance of the planet. It is encrusted with a ruby on the outside, which in ancient lapidaries (books on the properties and nature of stones) is called the stone of Mars, giving energy and decisiveness. The hieroglyphs of the planet are engraved inside, so that only the owner knows the true purpose of the ring, while for others, it remains an ordinary piece of jewelry.

In medieval French manuscripts about Mars symbols, it is said that they "grant invulnerability, instill terror in enemies, and allow one to travel day and night without fear of any danger":
de rendre invulmerables ceux qui le portent sur seux, de les rendre terribles a leurs ennemis et intrepides a marcher nuit et jour sans aucun peril
French manuscript
The appearance of these symbols varies from one manuscript to another, but they always follow a common pattern and can be found in numerous sources embracing different centuries from the Middle Ages to the Modern era.
