Description: | Gold finger ring, plain exterior, thin hoop considerably bent out of shape. Inside, an inscription in lower-case script: 'Not the value but my love', together with a maker's mark 'IC' with pellet below in a shield. The lettering has a number of 17th century features, but examples in the British Museum demonstrate that these features continue well into the 1730's. Several 'IC' maker's marks are recorded from the late 17th to early 18th century, but none are identical with the mark on this ring. An early 18th century date cannot therefore be ruled out. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1650
