A incomplete cast band of copper alloy. It is a rectangular band, with a flat profile. It has been bent into a square, although there is only three sides of the square present, and two of those are incomplete. One of the breaks seems to have worn, although the other could have happened more recently. There are sections of cross hatched decoration on each side of the square. It is possibly this is a finger ring, that has bent out of shape. Apart from the breaks it is in good condition, and has a dark green patina.

A complete cast copper alloy finger ring. It has a flat rectangular cross section, and the band is the same width all the way around. There is a pelleted border on both edges. Around the band at random locations are stamped decoration of a cross pattee. Some are partially stamped, some stamped over the border, and some on top of one another. It is unclear as to why these random crosses have been stamped onto the ring, and no comparisons can be made. The ring is in very good condition. It is likely this is post medieval due to the condition and the shape / cross-section of the band. …

Gold posy ring. A plain exterior, inscribed inside: 'Liue in loue and feare the lord' with the initials C above W M, standing for a husband and wife or betrothed couple whose surname began with C. This ring bears a maker's mark WH, or possibly HM. It has not been possible to identify the maker's mark. This inscription, and also the fashion for placing the initials in a triangle, continued well into the 18th century. There is therefore not enough evidence to confirm that this ring is pre-1706 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.

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.

Description: A complete cast gold inscribed 'posy' (or ‘posie’)-type finger-ring of post-medieval date (c. 1685-1800). The hoop is circular in plan and D-shaped in cross-section.

It is not clear therefore whether this is a maker’s mark or a date letter. The ring is…
