Post-medieval gold finger ring consisting of an undecorated D-sectioned hoop without a bezel. On the flat inner face a stamped maker's mark JF. 18th century. Dimensions: External diameter 20.5mm. Internal diameter 19.5mm. Width 2mm. Weight 1.68g. The maker's mark is not identifiable with those published in the standard sources, but the closest comparisons suggest a date after 1713.

Gold puzzle ring in the form of two linked rings, now distorted, of square section, each with a twist at one point where there are also signs of wear. This is almost certainly a puzzle ring, usually formed of multiple hoops, secured with a central twist, often forming the bezel. A puzzle ring with only two hoops is unusual, but given the damage is is possible that the ring is not complete. Original internal diameter of each ring c. 20mm. Section 1 x 1mm. Such rings were made from the 17th century to the 19th century and in the absence of any marks or other distinguishing features…

Gold posy ring, inscribed 'remember mee'. There are traces of black enamel left in the inscription. It is a very charming piece being so small in size, but as it is otherwise plain and bears no assay marks, it is very difficult to date with any accuracy. There is certainly no evidence to date it pre-1700, and it is most likely to be 18th century. It does not therefore fall within the Treasure remit.
