Gold finger ring, probably of Roman date. The hoop consists of a narrow band, slightly elliptical in section. The ovoid bezel, which has been soldered onto the hoop, consists of an outer decorative band of beaded wire which surrounds a box setting for stone, now missing. The setting is crushed and damaged and the hoop bent and distorted.
Discussion: the ring is probably of Roman date, although this is not certain. A parallel for the style of the ring was found at Leeuwarden and published by Henkel (1913, no. 135).
Date: 3rd to 4th centuries AD?
Wt.: 2.41g D. of bezel: 9.5mm

A similar ring formed from a single turn can be seen in Lindsay Allason-Jones and Roger Miket's 'Catalogue of small finds from South Shields Roman fort,' 1984: pp 125-…

Copper tin alloy Roman finger ring,
It has a raised circular bezel which is decorated with grooved lines forming a grid. The shoulders are slightly keeled and are decorated with a grooved triangle pointing away from the bezel on each side. The hoop narrows in width away from the shoulders but thickens on the other axis.
The precious metal content of the find is below 10% and therefore it falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.
