Description: | Gold posy ring.A large broad heavy hoop, plain exterior, inscribed inside in lower case 'I like my Choyes', with traces of black enamel in the lettering. According to Joan Evans the inscription is recorded from the early 18th century but continued in use until at least the early 18th century. Similarly the style of the lettering with the long tails and flourishes continued well into the 19th century.In the absence of any maker's mark or date letter, there is not enough evidence to date this securely pre 1705.
