A thin, plain, gold Post Medieval finger ring dating circa AD 1724 - 2000.  The ring is severely bent and mis-shapen, becoming sub-anular in plan, U-shaped in profile and D-shaped in cross-section.

The reverse face of the central setting is decorated with a series of radiating ribs emanating from a central circular hole; this design resembles a clam shell. The central setti…

This gold object is the left half of a partial denture. Brian Williams from the British Dental Association Museum advises that 'it would appear to have fractured in the mid-line so originally there may have been more gold, of a similar size/shape, on the right side making the complete structure horse-shoe shaped. Judging by the surface shapes (circles) we think the structure is cast gold and dental casting didn't become available until the early 1900's. To mask the gold, much of the surface would have been covered in Vucanite (a hardened rubber material) made by the Goodyear Rubber Co…

A modern gold pendant.

Two wide, rectangular-sectioned ovoid loops, interlinked and affixed at one end by a truncated bar. Each loop is decorated with applied twisted gold wires forming a running lozenge pattern with loops at the borders, interspersed with tiny globular gold beads. Of unknown function - perhaps part of an earring or decoration for a hair pin. Stylistically, however, it is consistent with late 19th century jewellery of archaising design.
