This tiny gold ring is inscribed inside: ‘Your absence is my greefe’ in lower case script, and was presumably a gift between separated lovers. There is also a maker’s mark, which is very close to Grimwade no. 1731 (Grimwade, 1976) and can almost certainly be identified with it. The mark is that of John Vickerman, small worker, entered 20 May 1768. This ring is mid 18th century and does not fall within the Treasure Act. The hoop is D-shaped in section and measures 17.7mm in diameter. It weighs 1.79g.

Gold fragment of a strip raised into a lip on both of the edges of each face. The flanged end is flattened and has been sheared off with a blunt 'cold' chisel which has caused the end to expand. The other end of the fragment is broken and worn. Treasure report written by Gillian Varndell: Roughly trapezoidal fragment of gold; the broader end is flattened and cut (or flattened and broken off) and there is a rough break at the opposite, narrower end. The long edges have slight flanges, more marked on one face; the 'flange' at the narrow edge is probably a result of breaking.
