FINGER RING

Unique ID: BUC-6991D2

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published

This tiny gold ring with thin hoop and square bezel set with a purple stone is puzzling in that the shape corresponds to 16^th-century rings, but it is so thin and lightweight as to suggest that it may in fact be early 19^th century. In the absence of further evidence to confirm a pre-1709 dating, the ring falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.
