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. The interior inscribed in lower case: 'A good life a happie death', followed by the engraved outline of a skull, again probably once enamelled and a maker's mark in a rectangular shield. Discussion: The mark is very unclear and may possibly read SW or MS; it does not appear to be recorded in Grimwade (London Goldsmiths 1697-1937) or Jackson (English Goldsmiths and their Marks).

A gold finger ring of Post-Medieval date. It has a plain hoop measuring 20.6mm in external diameter, 16.97mm in internal diameter, and the hoop width 5.5mm. It weighs 7.01g. There is an inscription on the inside of the hoop which reads:" As true to the as death to me ,". Judoe Rudoe, BM, notes that the inscription was in use by 1624 (recorded by Joan Evans) but there is no datable maker's mark, and the ring could be 17th or 18th century in date. The inscription is probably not a mourning one in the sense of commemorating a deceased person but rather a memento mori or reminder of death.
