The letters look to be engraved once the hoop was drawn into a D-shaped strip and then the two ends were soldered together as the join can be seen in the gap between the 'E' at the end of the inscription and the 'A' at the beginning.

Gold posy ring with plain exterior band and inscribed on the interior with TOxLIGHTxTOxREQUIT in Roman capitals.
