Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Gold ring, formed of a small thin hoop of circular section, decorated all over with engraved cross-hatching containing traces of black enamel. In the absence of anything comparable in the collections this is a difficult piece to place. It may be a fitting of some kind rather than a finger-ring.

Object type: DRESS FASTENER (DRESS)
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Buckinghamshire
Workflow stage: Published
This is a puzzling piece which has some similarity with 16th century dress fittings, but does not correspond precisely with examples so far recorded in that it is very thin and lightweight. It has a heart‑shaped stamp on the back which may possibly be a maker's mark, but is not one that we have been able to identify. It also has some affinity with traditional ornaments from Continental Europe.

This gold ring has a thin flat hoop of even width, inscribed When + this + you + see + remember + mee
This is a popular inscription recorded by Joan Evans, in English Posies and Posy Rings (Oxford 1931) in various versions from the late 16th century onwards. The lettering could be late 17th or 18th century, but in the absence of any other identifying features there is not enough evidence to date it pre 1704.

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Published
Plain gold band, scratched and worn, with the inscription: true love is the bond of peace.
The inscription is recorded by Joan Evans (1931) in a late 16th century manuscript and the lettering is consistent with a 17th century date, but we know that 17th century lettering style continued well into the 18th century from the British Museum's dated sequence of mourning rings. In the absence of marks or any distinguishing decorative feature there is no firm evidence to date this pre 1704.

Report on potential Treasure for H M Coroner
Treasure Number: 2015 T516
Description: Gold ring with circular bezel, decorated with wirework heart above a V shape, the V filled in with enamel, a thin hoop, the shoulders decorated with horizontal engraved lines where they join the bezel.
Dimensions:
Diameter: 25.29mm
Width: 1.59-7.83mm
Thickness: 0.95mm
Weight: 2g
Discussion: This is an unusual piece which no-one recognises. It could possibly be late 18th, given the form of the shoulders which does loosely correspond to 18th century types, but we can find no par…

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Leicestershire
Workflow stage: Published
A gold Post-Medieval finger-ring with external relief decoration. The decoration consists of a delicate geometric design, which may have once held enamel. The interior of the finger-ring bears the inscription 'A FRENDES GYFT' in upper case.
Discussion: This finger-ring may have once held enamel, there are 3 similar examples in the British Museum's collection (1961.1202.130, 1961.1202.459 and 2003.0506.1), one of which still retains the original enamel (2003.0506.1).
