Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Post Medieval gold finger Ring. The ring is formed of a plain gold band with a 'D' shaped cross section. There is no decoration on the outside of the band. Inside there is an inscribed legend: HOPE *HELFETH *GREE. It is possible the last letter is meant to represent an 'F'.

The inscription is recorded by Joan Evans (English Posies and Posy Rings, Oxford 1931, p. 48) as 'Hope helpeth griefe' and is included in the Harleian Manuscript of 1596, providing evidence that this inscription was in use by this date…

A complete silver annular brooch of Medieval - Post-Medieval date. The brooch has a circular frame. It is convex at the front and concave at the rear and has ridged edges. The frame is pierced with a circular hole to take the pin. The pin is D-shaped in cross-section, flat at the rear.

Record ID: KENT-B6CCD4
Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: MODERN
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A narrow gold band (4mm thick) with slightly convex sides, inscribed inside in seriffed lowercase letters: 'I wis to finde a constant minde', followed by the maker's mark (crowned DC) and the letters WPM (P above W & M). The edges are sharp suggesting that this ring has hardly been worn. The size of the ring is 20mm (internal diameter).
Discussion: The seriffed letter text is found on rings from 16th Century through to 18th Century. The maker's mark on this ring can be paralleled to an example in the British Museum collections 1961,1202.339, dated to 18th Century.

Record ID: KENT-29DF11
Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: MODERN
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Date: possibly 19th Century
Description:
Gold ring (?) in the form of a flat strip expanding slightly towards one side which has a square raised rim on three sides, possibly the remains of a setting for a stone. However, the shape of the hoop is unusual; it does not conform to the standard shapes for the post-medieval rings of the 16th-18th century and may therefore be later.
Discussion: In the absence of any firm dating evidence it is not possible to confirm that this ring is more than 300 years old.
Dimensions: Weight: 2.3g
Diameter: 26.1mm
Thickness: 1.5mm

Treasure case 2009 T208 - returned to finder
Gold fede ring with clasped hands holding a heart, rosettes flanking the ‘cuffs’. Inscribed ‘Noe recompense but love’. Maker’s mark MB in rectangle: the same mark is on British Museum finger-ring 1961,1202.254 but not identifiable in any standard reference works (see BM website under search the collection database/museum provenance and number search for images). The design of the ring suggests an 18th Century date rather than 17th Century date, and it is therefore unlikely to be more than 300 years old.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Gold posy ring. A plain exterior, inscribed inside: 'Liue in loue and feare the lord' with the initials C above W M, standing for a husband and wife or betrothed couple whose surname began with C. This ring bears a maker's mark WH, or possibly HM. It has not been possible to identify the maker's mark. This inscription, and also the fashion for placing the initials in a triangle, continued well into the 18th century. There is therefore not enough evidence to confirm that this ring is pre-1706 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.

Gold ring, badly scratched, dented and bent out of shape, dated 1679. The exterior apart forms an engraved skull, the interior inscribed in lower case: Prepare to follow WR (some letters unclear). There is also an illegible mark, possibly a maker's mark, in a rectangular shield. Note: This is a standard type of memorial ring of the 17th century. The inscription is usually 'Prepared be to follow me' as on two memorial rings for Charles I in the BM (Dalton 1362 and 1362), on Dalton 1283: 'Prepared be to follow me RO'., and in shortened form on a ring of the same date, Dalton 1468: 'Be…
