The turquoise ring

In 1568, twenty-one-year-old Shiloh ben Gozan flees the Spanish Inquisiiton to live openly as a Jew in Venice. He brings with him a baby daughter and an oddly made turquoise ring, crafted by a strange Moor in Toledo, and given to him by a woman he cannot forget. In Venice, as this ring is hidden, stolen, traded, lost, and finally found again, it shapes not just Shiloh's life but that of his great enemy and business rival, Antonio di Argento, whom he finally -- and horrifyingly -- confronts in a Venetian courtroom.
