A probably complete, but now squashed, gold finger-ring (mourning ring) of early- to mid-18th-century date. It has a rectangular bezel for a now missing setting. The bezel's long sides have been squashed in. The exterior is decorated with a pair of grooves that run all around. The hoop remains attached at one end of the bezel, but has been folded and partially torn at the junction, but has become detached at the other. At the end where the hoop remains attached it has been bent under the bezel, and squashed up towards it. Around halfway along the other part of the hoop has been pus…

Gold finger-ring This is a thin gold ring inscribed inside in lower case script with an inscription that is hard to read but may be a version of 'Live, love and be happy', as recorded in J, Evans, English Posies and Posy Rings, 1931. Two words certainly are legible in the middle of the text as 'and love'. The maker's mark is not decipherable; due to this fact it is therefore not possible to confirm that this ring is more than 300 years old. Due to the undiagnostic nature of the find it cannot be securely dated to pre-1708 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treas…

Gold posy ring. A large broad heavy hoop, plain exterior, inscribed inside in lower case 'I like my Choyes', with traces of black enamel in the lettering. According to Joan Evans the inscription is recorded from the early 18th century but continued in use until at least the early 18th century. Similarly the style of the lettering with the long tails and flourishes continued well into the 19th century. In the absence of any maker's mark or date letter, there is not enough evidence to date this securely pre 1705.

Gold spiral finger ring There is nothing comparable in post-medieval collections, but there is a group of similar rings found in Denmark in the National Museum in Copenhagen whch have been dated in their recent catalogue to c 1700 - 1800. They seem very close as far as one can tell from the illustrations; one end is usually pointed as on this example. It does not therefore fall within the scope of the Treasure Act. See F. Lindahl, Symboler i guld og solv. Nationalmuseets Fingerringe 1000-1700, Copenhagem 2003, nos. 361-366.
