That's absolutely beautiful, it's something that your family must absolutely keep.

I wish I still had something like that from my great grand father.
I still remember an episode told us by my grand father, that occurred during a battle that took place in the "First Italian War of Independence" that was fought in 1848/ 1849 between the Kingdom of Sardinia (Piedmont) and the Austrian Empire, and I'm not 100% sure if it was his father or his uncle that although injured in the battle of Novara managed to save the life of a Piedmontese comrade, that to thank him took off his ring and handed it to my anchestor.
That ring belonged to my family for ages, but "got lost" when my mother got ill and needed continuous assistance just a few months before dying five years ago.
Hope not to have bored anybody.
