Description: | This gold posy ring with d-shaped hoop has a plain exterior and is inscribed on the inside in lower case: "My happie choyce eT only ioy".A similar inscription is recorded by Joan Evans in English Posies and Posy Rings (1931), but this reads "My hapie choys my secret ioy" and Evans does not give a dated source for it. This is a type which continued into the 18th century, and as it stands there is not enough evidence to confirm that it is pre-1707.
