Gold Post Medieval finger ring, uncertain date.
A plain gold band, with a slightly raised central ridge on the outside. The ring has been squashed out of shape but originally but have been round. The band is thin, and flat on the inside.
Judy Rudoe (British Museum) has seen an image of this ring and is happy that it is undiagnostic, so cannot be assigned a pre-1700 date. As such it does not constitute Treasure.

Gold mourning ring. It has been squashed slightly out of shape. It has a central raised ridge running round the outside of the ring, in the centre. This is triangular in cross section and there is a small break at one point, possibly where the bezel once was? On either side of this ridge there was originally black enamel but most of this is now missing, only fragments remain.
Inside the ring is an incised inscription reading 'Live well and die well' followed by TS stamped inside a square.

Gold Post-Medieval finger ring from the late 17th/ 18th centuries.
The ring is complete and in good condition. It is decorated on the outside and has an inscription on the inside.
The exterior decoration consists of raised diagonal ridges which have punched annulets along them in a irregular manner. The inscription inside is either in French or latin but it is hard to work out. The lettering is very stylised and appears to read ' ..... le bleu'.

Gold Post Medieval mourning ring dating to 1727.
It is inscribed in the inside of the ring with 'Mary Normandy ob 9 Jan 1727 cet 55'
The outside of the ring is highly decorated with black enamel. Firstly there is a skeleton. Below the skeleton is a crossed shovel and pick. Next there is an hour glass. All of these pictures symbolise death and the end of time/life.
Below this is an open book with the words 'MEMENTO MORI' written on the 2 pages. This means a memento of death. There is an X below the word MORI which just appears to be to fill space.

Gold Post Medieval finger ring.
This thin plain band is inscribed inside in lower case script: 'In thee my choice I doe reioyce'. This is a type that continues well into the 18th century and beyond. In the absence of any maker's mark or other dateable feature there is no evidence to confirm that this is pre-1708.

Gold post-Medieval mourning ring Date: early 18th century Description: D-shaped hoop, with skull on the bezel, showing traces of white enamel. There are also traces of black enamelling on the outside of the band, within the cross-hatching. On the inside is the inscription 'sic omnibus', with the maker's mark 'DA'. There are slight traces of black enamel within the lettering. Discussion: The d-shaped section is typical of the 17th and early-18th centuries. The maker's mark is very likely to be that of Isaac Davenport, who registered this mark as a smallworker in 1705 (Grimwade, no. 434…
