The band is inscribed on the inside Fear God love me, and bears the touch-mark AP (conjoined at the base). Dimensions: Weight: 5.71g. Internal diameter: 19mm Note: The dating of such rings can be difficult. The style of the lettering is post-1650, and it is probably early 18th-century in date (again based on the beginnings of a fluid letter style). The only AP mark noted by I Pickford, Jackson's Silver and Gold Marks (1989), and A G Grimwade, London Goldsmiths 1697-1837. Their Marks & Lives (London, 1976), is Abraham Portal, dated 1749.

A complete copper-alloy finger ring, measuring 21.5mm in external diameter and 18mm in internal diameter. The hoop is 5mm in width. On the inside face of the hoop there is what is most likely to be a maker's mark, it appears to consist of the letter; 'WSCH.' Traces of gilding can be seen around this mark and it is likely that the whole ring was originally gilded, although gilding can no longer be seen anywhere else. This ring is most likely to be post medieval in date, due to the presence of the maker's mark.

A copper-alloy possible bezel from a finger ring. Oval in shape measuring 14mm in length and 10mm in width. The outside edge of this oval consists of a copper-alloy band and within this is more copper-alloy which has corroded to a reddish colour, implying that there is iron within it as well. Both faces are slightly concave. One face has a rectangular indentation in its centre, which appears to have been cut out of the surrounding metal. This object may be a bezel for a finger ring, if so it is most likely to be post-medieval in date.

The 'belt' has been decorated and the buckles have pins and pin recesses. The ring has been damaged and so is incomplete; the break looks quite recent. The silver has started to go a dark greyish-silver colour.

Each lozenge is divided with a saltire cross into four parts with a punched dot in each part. Between the lozenges the field is filled with raised lines. The patina is not fully formed, so a fairly late date is suggested.

A copper-alloy finger ring. 20mm in diameter and the frame is 2.5mm wide. The inner face is flat and the outer surface has raised moulded decoration in the form of a twisted ropework design. This design can be paralled with a 15th century posy ring from Surrey (D. Williams; 1999; pp.185) and also with BH-48CEE6. However, the reddish brown patina on this example suggests a much later post-medieval to modern date.

Description: The finger-ring is complete, although there is now a break in the hoop. The sides of the hoop are bevelled towards the interior and flank a convex midsection. The applied decoration is confined to the convex midsection and is arranged around four equally-spaced lateral incised lines, which define the narrowest and widest points of two decorative bands. These decorative bands begin as a point on one side and gradually widen to the midpoint, before narrowing again to a point on the opposite side of the hoop. The bands contain pellets in sunken relief. The lateral incised li…

Post-Medieval gold finger-ring. Gold finger-ring with flattish band, inscribed inside in lower case 'be true in hart', with very faint maker's mark, which may possibly read ? H Date: probably 17th Century or perhaps early 18th Century. Discussion: A posy ring in the BM with similar short inscription 'In trust be juste' has what appears to be the same maker's mark, the letters HT conjoined with the T above the H, but it has not been identified in any of the standard reference works (1961,1202.414). Nonetheless the balance of probability is that this ring is more than 300…
