A Post-Medieval gold posy ring. The outside of the hoop is decorated with a foliate design. The inside of the hoop bears the inscription 'If love can merit' 'I Shall in herit'. In between these two lines there appears to be a maker's mark which could be 'SV' or an incomplete 'SW'. Dimensions: Length: 21.56 mm Width: 13.51 mm Thickness: 2.95 mm Weight: 1.27 g Conclusion: Due to the lack of an identifiable marker's mark it is not possible to date this finger-ring with certainty to pre-1714 and therefore it may not meet the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1…

The finger-ring shows a coat of arms which Dr Clive Cheeseman (Richmond Herald, College of Arms) has described as "being made up of a shield and a crest, with helmet and full mantling engraved in what appears to be a 17th century style. The shield has an engrailed saltire on it with a rose or cinquefoil in the upper part of the shield. It can often, as here, be difficult to tell the difference between a rose and a cinquefoil. If it is a ros…
