Description: Gold and gem finger-ring, the gemstone held in place by four claws. The circular-section hoop is slender, generally 1.4mm in diameter. It flares upwards and flattens in thickness to a tall stirrup-shaped bezel which is just 0.9mm thick. This has a rounded cut-out at the top which wraps around the gemstone at little to form a pair of claws. At right angles to these are two more claws which are apparently integrally cast with the rest of the hoop. When viewed from the underside, there is no back to the bezel nor any kind of collet wrapped around the stone; the two …

Description: Gold Latin cross made with long arm uppermost. The cross is hollow and its structure complex. It is made up with one cruciform sheet, which extends into the suspension loop, acting as a base-plate. A single strip of gold, set on edge, is neatly soldered to this forming a cruciform cell. This is then covered by second sheet of gold whose edges are partially enfolded by the top of the cell wall. The sheet forming the base-plate is pierced at the centre by an equal armed cruciform opening which is partially filled by a thin gold sheet, itself pierced with a smaller equal arme…

A complete plain gold finger ring dating to the late Post Medieval to Modern period (c. AD 1719-2000). The ring is a very thin, undecorated band, with a D-shaped cross-section. The are hallmark on the inside of the band is very worn and difficult to decipher. The object is similar in style to YORYM-CEA771, WMID-E6E061 and ESS-F1E6C3. Judy Rudoe (pers. comm. 2019) has also stated that in the absence of identifiable maker's marks, there is not enough evidence to date this ring to pre-1719. Therefore, owing to its similarity to other rings recorded on the PAS database and the informa…

Gold stirrup-shaped finger ring. The bezel is expanded into a low flat topped triangle with faceted corners that is surmounted by a single domed blue stone that has been identified by the Department of Scientific Research at the British Museum using Raman spectroscopy as corundum gemstone, likely sapphire. The stone is set within an asymmetrical hexagonal cell. Expanded quatrefoils flank the base of the bezel which then led on to the angled hoop which has a central ridge running around its circumference resulting in the band having a low triangular cross-section. Evenly spaced around t…

Some of the characters are, or are similar to, genuine Hebrew letters, but some are illegible, and the meaning, if any, is not possible to interpret.
