A Post Medieval gold finger ring, a decade ring, probably dating to the 17th century. The finger ring comprises a band with a D-shaped cross-section and it is decorated with 10 applied spheres of gold and 1 applied cross. It appears to have been made in a strip with the ends soldered together to form a ring. The point of solder seems to correspond with the applied cross. There are no marks or inscriptions on the inner surface. The ten knops around the circumference of the ring suggest that it was a decade ring, used as a discreet way of assisting in the saying of the ten prayers that m…

A gold finger ring with no decoration or hallmarks. The band is slightly D-shaped in cross-section and has suffered some damage. It is unclear what date this ring is, however a post-medieval to modern date might be appropriate. The lack of hall marks may suggest it is foreign. The finger ring is undiagnostic in terms of date and therefore cannot be classified as treasure under the 1996 Treasure Act.
