A recent discovery in the United Kingdom shows that chunky jewelry has always been in fashion – even in Ancient Rome.

Wessex Archaeology announced the discovery of the unusual eight-sided ring in a Facebook post on May 8. 

In a statement, officials said the ring was found in a former drainage ditch in Lincolnshire, a predominantly rural county in the East Midlands.

The ring’s “unlucky owner” lost the piece of jewelry between 200 and 410 A.D., historians believe.

“You can just imagine their frustration when they glanced down at their bare hand – over 1,000 years before one of our field staff, Tim, would unearth what was once so familiar to its original wearer,” the statement added.

Ancient Romans invaded Britain in 43 A.D. under Emperor Claudius, after a previous invasion under Julius Caesar.

Romans lived in Britain for hundreds of years before they eventually began withdrawing in 410 A.D.
