The Ottoman Tughra is an ornate ring for men that features a silver bush design set with white mother of pearl stones in a hexagonal setting. The ring is adorned with a traditional Ottoman Tughra design, which features the stylized signature of the Ottoman Sultan. For centuries, Ottoman Sultans used this distinctive signature style on official documents and stamp seals. The Ottoman Tughra represents the might of the Ottoman Empire and the sophistication of its artistic tradition. Its ornate details demonstrate the expertise of Imperial calligraphers. The Tughra was hand-drawn by skilled calligraphers who paid close attention to the contours of each letter and the harmony of their lines as they worked. Tughras can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days to complete, and require hundreds of individual strokes. Men's Ottoman Tughra rings feature a tekke, an interlocking pattern of geometric shapes that stands for infinity. Four points of rosettes surround the tekke, each of which represents one of the four cardinal directions. All of the Tughra's symbols traditionally represented something important to the Sultan or communicated a message from him. This ring is a one-of-a-kind work of art that will turn heads wherever you go. It honors the history and craftsmanship of the once-mighty Ottoman Empire. This ring is a stunning piece of jewelry thanks to the mother of pearl stone and the detailed Tughra.
