Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Gold finger ring, plain exterior, thin hoop considerably bent out of shape. Inside, an inscription in lower-case script: 'Not the value but my love', together with a maker's mark 'IC' with pellet below in a shield. The lettering has a number of 17th century features, but examples in the British Museum demonstrate that these features continue well into the 1730's. Several 'IC' maker's marks are recorded from the late 17th to early 18th century, but none are identical with the mark on this ring. An early 18th century date cannot therefore be ruled out.

Gold ring formed of a thin flat band, with plain exterior, the interior inscribed: I will be kind if love I finde, followed by a stamped maker's mark DC (?) and the initials BSS. The central S is placed slightly above, suggesting that these may be the initials of a married couple, the upper S for the surname. The maker's mark is not identifiable in the easily accessible published sources. The lettering is consistent with a 17th century date, but such lettering continued well into the 18th century.
