Finger ring dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, made from silver or another white metal with enamelled decoration. Although now incomplete and bent, it was clearly originally very small and quite flimsy.

The hoop then flares gently in width to the shoulders, which expand and flatten to form a flat shield-shaped bezel. This is decorated with a shield of arms comprising three diagonal cells part-filled with decayed enamel, with an&…

A fragment of a Post Medieval-Modern silver finger ring, c.AD 1800-1950. This is a fragment of a silver finger ring, coprising half of the loop and half of the bezel. The bezel is decorated with openwork and some incised patterns, which suggests that there was a floral design used on this area. The breaks in this ring show that this was solid silver, not plated. Unfortunately, the hallmarks have been lost with the rest of the band.
