Object type: PENDANT

County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Description: Gold pendant, of roughly circular shape, made from small pieces of gold sheet soldered together. The centre is formed of a square foil collet set set upon a base of spiral-coiled gold wire and set with a stone, probably a rock crystal. Around this were originally four similar rectangular collets set with what are probably garnets, forming a cross shape. One collet is missing entirely, another is missing its setting, but two adjacent collets survive complete.
In the angles of these collets are elaborate fleurs-de-lis manufactured from strips of sheet gold set on edge,…

Description: an incomplete and somewhat damaged gold finger ring dating to the Post-Medieval period, c. 1600-1700. The hoop is 'D' shaped in section and rather worn at its base, distorted on one side due to old damage. On the inside of the hoop at one shoulder is a rather crude inscription, which appears to read; 'P. HIL(?)'-the script seemingly of 17th century character.

Record ID: SF-85A8D1
Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Description: A gold finger ring likely to be post medieval date. Consisting of a now distorted oval-shaped hoop, which is decorated and shaped so that from the outer face it appears formed from two crossing bands, one of which is plain and the other decorated with longitudinal borders with incised cross-hatching within. The outer face is flat and the inner face is smooth, undecorated and slightly rounded.
Discussion: No published parallel could be found for this ring, having a rounded inner face is unusual but its function and a finger ring remains most likely due to its size and d…

Record ID: SF-DF65D7
Object type: PENDANT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
A small gold sphere decorated with a single band of gold wire around the circumference. This has a line of arches of gold wire on both sides extending approximately halfway up each hemisphere. Above these arches are multiple small pellets covering the top and bottom of the sphere. At the top is a small loop formed from gold wire with a piece of bent gold wire through it, possibly the start of a chain or larger loop to enable the object to be attached to a chain.
Bears some resemblance to Tudor dress pins but the fitting/ attachment loop suggests it might be a decorative dress accessory.
