Gold and Emerald Ring from the Legendary 1715 Fleet Shipwreck — Possibly from the Fabled “Queen’s Jewels”
1715 FLEET EMERALD RING 1.5 carat w/COA
This beautiful and historical Gold & 1.5ct Emerald ring measures at 20x15mm and weighs 1.19g. The Emerald rises above the channel set with deep malachite green shades. An amazing cabochon Emerald! There's a redish sediment throughout the base of the shank and also even on the Emerald itself, attesting to the Shipwreck orgins.
This piece was very possibly or likely part of the "QUEENS JEWELS!" Destined for the voyage to the New Queen for King Philip as part of the Dowry needed to consummate the marriage.
This historical Shipwreck Gold & Emerald ring comes with the Salvagers COA (from Capt. Mike McGuire, who was also featured on the Travel Channel when he located the "Golden Box," with a beautiful Gold & Red Coral Rosary, with several rings as well inside from the 1715 Fleet).
A RARE opportunity to own a piece of Shipwreck History!
A gleaming relic from one of the most storied maritime disasters in history, this exquisite Gold and Emerald Ring stands as both a jewel of Spanish craftsmanship and a silent witness to royal ambition, tragedy, and rediscovery. Measuring 20 x 15mm and weighing 1.19 grams, it cradles a striking 1.5-carat cabochon-cut emerald—its vivid, malachite-green hue shimmering with the same mystique that once captivated the courts of Madrid and Seville.
The emerald rises proudly from a gold channel setting, its surface flecked with traces of reddish sediment—a telltale signature of centuries spent beneath the sands off Florida’s Treasure Coast. The deposits, seen both in the shank and within the gem itself, testify to its authentic shipwreck origins, likely resting untouched since the fateful hurricane of July 31, 1715, when eleven Spanish galleons laden with gold, silver, and gemstones met their demise en route from Havana to Spain.
These vessels—collectively known as the 1715 Treasure Fleet—were transporting the accumulated wealth of the New World: chests of gold coins, silver ingots, and royal jewels intended for King Philip V of Spain and his new bride, Queen Elisabeth Farnese. Among the lost cargo was a consignment so magnificent it entered legend as the “Queen’s Jewels”—a trove of emeralds, pearls, and gold adornments meant as part of the Queen’s dowry. Many experts and salvagers believe jewels of this caliber, including pieces such as this very ring, may have once formed part of that royal gift, destined never to reach Madrid.
This remarkable artifact was recovered by Captain Mike McGuire, one of the most respected salvors of the Treasure Coast, who famously appeared on the Travel Channel after discovering the celebrated “Golden Box”—a cache containing a gold-and-red coral rosary and several jeweled rings believed to have come from the same fleet. Accompanied by McGuire’s Certificate of Authenticity, the ring’s provenance connects it directly to the world of maritime exploration, colonial conquest, and the enduring pursuit of lost treasure.
Few surviving shipwreck jewels offer such a tangible link between myth and reality, beauty and history. Elegant, evocative, and impossibly rare, this emerald ring is more than adornment—it is a fragment of a vanished empire, reborn from the sea.
A rare opportunity to own an original piece of the 1715 Fleet—a genuine jewel of the Spanish Crown, once lost to the depths, now brought once more to light.x/1
