A copper-alloy probable finger ring of late Iron Age or early Roman date, about 200 BC - AD 200. The finger ring has been made from a cast rod/wire of copper alloy, circular in section, 3.4mm in diameter. The rod has been bent to form a penannular ring with overlapping terminals. One terminal is decorated with three circumferential grooves forming a double collar, but the other is not decorated suggesting it may be broken. Originally, the ring may have had more coils like a 'snake ring'. The ring has a dark green / turquoise patina and is slightly pitted. Compare WILT-5BA843and KEN…

A fragment of a silver finger ring of Roman date. Only one shoulder of the ring survives. It is flat, rectangular in section, and shaped like a figure of eight. The shoulder is decorated with a single groove running along the centre from the edge of the bezel to the hoop. The hoop thickens slightly before it is broken, making it more oval in section. The metal has a grey colour, with spots of green corrosion, probably from a nearby object. The breaks are worn. As the object is made of silver and is more than 300 years old, it meets the requirements of the 1996 Treasure Act.

A silver Medieval "fede" type finger ring which is inscribed on the outside of the hoop. The inscription is difficult to read because of damage, but appears to read: "C' IL (M)RONE(WH)•IALEALA". The bezel is in the form of clasped hands but has been twisted and bent inwards and the hoop is broken. The rest of the hoop is rectangular in section and fairly crude. Lovers' 'Fede' type rings are well known and a number of complete and fragmentary examples have been recorded under the Treasure Act (eg 2007 T49; 2007 T107; 2007 T342; and 2010 T158).Co…

Description: A complete 16th or 17th century gold finger ring. The ring is cast so that the hoop is formed from sixteen domes or hemispheres, i.e. it has a semicircular section. One dome is elongated and probably acted as the bezel. The inner surface of the hoop is inscribed with the legend " * ALWAYES ONE >>>".

The closest example in the British Museum collections is 1956,1014.1, which has diagonal rows of bosses creating a similar effect with a double row of capital letter inscription in English on the interior, the lettering consistent with a dating of 16th - 17th century.
