Late 17th or early 18th century gold posy ring Description: A D-section hoop decorated on the exterior with a floral scroll, probably once enamelled black but almost no enamel now remains.

A complete gold finger-ring. Measuring 23.5mm in external diameter and c18.5mm in internal diameter with a hoop width of 47mm. Exterior of the hoop formed of 12 hemispherical beads. The interior of the hoop is plain.
For a ring of similar form, the interior inscribed Feare God only * *, see O. M. Dalton, Catalogue of Finger-rings in the British Museum (London, 1912), cat. no. 1150. Comparable rings with capital letter inscriptions, such as the example reported in 2004 from Billericay, Essex (2004 T353), suggest a later 16th or 17th century date-range for this ring.
