A gold posy ring of post medieval date (circa AD 1650 - 1780). The ring is a plain band, with a shallow D-shaped cross-section. The inscription on the inside of the band reads "A Vertuous wife preserueth life", apparently derived from Proverbs 31. The use of the long form S in 'preserueth' suggests a date prior to 1780 (acccording to Oxford Dictionaries online, that style fell out of use quite rapidly around that date). The inscription is italicised and in sentence case, which may suggest a date later than mid 17th century; prior to this, block capital inscriptions we…

Gold medieval love or marriage ring. Very finely engraved with flowers and foliage. Note: This object was recorded over 20 years ago and does not meet the current standard of database records for the Portable Antiquities Scheme. Based on the image provided, the exterior of the ring is inscribed in a black letter script reading: "autre", which is likely part of a larger inscription reading "autre ne vueil", meaning 'desire no other', or "nul autre", meaning 'no other'. The inscription is surrounded by incised foliage. Many thanks to Malcol…
