The Mercury Ring is made of a gold and silver alloy in accordance with the Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus: "The Father is the Sun, the Mother is the Moon." It is encrusted with topaz on the outside, which in ancient lapidaries (books on the properties and nature of stones) is called the stone of Mercury, which have ability to awaken imagination and improve intellect. 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.
