Record ID: BUC-6991D2
Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: MODERN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
This tiny gold ring with thin hoop and square bezel set with a purple stone is puzzling in that the shape corresponds to 16th-century rings, but it is so thin and lightweight as to suggest that it may in fact be early 19th century. In the absence of further evidence to confirm a pre-1709 dating, the ring falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.
