Record ID: LON-185E45
Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Published
A gold object, probably a distorted finger ring of uncertain date.
Curator's report: A strip of bright yellow pitted gold that has been bent six times forming three rough (un-unintended) loops. The edges of some sections appear to have been worked, being slightly rounded.
Discussion: This strip of gold is long enough to have fitted round a small finger but there are no diagnostic features that could provide a date.
Conclusion: Due to the undiagnostic nature of the find it can not be securely dated to pre-1708 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A gold finger ring of uncertain date. It has a plain circular band that is sub-circular in section with a flat inner edge. The inner edge has several indentations and pock marks, presumably caused during production, but apparently no maker's marks or hallmarks. The ring measures 17.36mm in internal diameter, 22.84mm in external diameter, and weighs 8.58g. This plain gold ring is a beach find from close to a known Roman site.

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An undatable (but probably Late Post-Medieval or Modern) gold ring, possibly a finger-ring or strap fitting, measuring 19.12mm in diameter (internal 16.72mm) and weighing 1.6g.
The ring is rectangular in cross-section with signs of wear at opposing points, one one side only.
I think the object is undiagnostic - the section is odd and this may not be a ring (Judy Rudoe pers.comm.)

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
A complete but distorted gold probable finger ring. Consisting of a simple hoop with a rectangular section. The outer face is smooth however in one area there are tiny traces of possible vertical grooves, these may be original decoration or due to damage/wear, they are extremely faint.
Discussion: This finger ring is very undiagnostic and could possibly be Roman or later in date, but it is impossible to certify that it was deposited prior to 1708 as stipulated in the Treasure Act.
Dimensions: Measuring 17.16mm by 15.33mm externally and 15.53mm by 13.61mm internally, the hoop is …

TREASURE CASE 2010 T168 Finger Ring
Description: Small undecorated gold ring; D-shaped band.
Discussion: The lack of inscription or makers mark on this finger-ring makes it impossible to accurately date.

Record ID: ESS-203042
Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Essex
Workflow stage: Published
Description: Misshapen small plain gold finger-ring. The hoop is a low D-shape in cross-section, with the interior flat or very slightly convex and the exterior more distinctly convex.
Date: There is no inner inscription or makers mark on the ring, therefore it is not possible to date this finger-ring.
The undiagnostic nature of this find makes it impossible to date to pre-1709 and as such it falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.
