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.

An enamelled gold posy ring. This ring has a thin hoop with foliate decoration on the exterior bearing remains of red, green and white enamel. The interior bears and inscription: 'Let vertue bee a guide to thee', and a maker's mark, PR, within a double oval. This is a commonly found inscription that remained popular well into the 18th century. The decoration too is consistent with a date in the 18th century. The mark does not appear in Grimwade, nor is it recorded by T. Kent in his book on West Country makers. In the absence of an identifiable mark there is no evidence to date this rin…

An enamelled gold memorial ring. This ring with its monogram in gold wire beaneath a faceted stone, foliate ornament of the shoulder in black enamel and decoration in back and white enamel on the underside of the bezel, is a characteristic type of the late 17th and early 18th century. Examples in the British Museum bear dated inscriptions from around 1690 to 1730. In the absence of such an inscription or an identifiable maker's mark, there is no evidence to date this ring pre 1705. The stone is cracked (Judy Rudoe, British Museum, 10th October 2005).
