The Sun Ring is made of gold, as this color resembles the radiance of the sun. It is encrusted with a garnet on the outside, which in ancient lapidaries (books on the properties and nature of stones) is called the stone of the Sun, associated with power and health. 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.

According to medieval French manuscripts Sun symbols are useful "to gain the friendship of a prince or a great lord, and also to achieve and rise to the highest positions, especially if one is kindhearted and honest":
pour acquerir l’amittié d’un Prince et grand seigneur et par son moyen un homme peut parvenir et monter aux plus grandes charges surtout un homme de coeur & de probité
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.
