Description: | A complete Post Medieval copper alloy finger ring (late 17th - 18th century). Curator's report: A plain yellow metal ring with inscription inside. There is a break in the ring and part of the text may be missing. What is legible appears to read ' . . . v Love I til I die'. This may be a version of inscriptions recorded by Joan Evans, such as 'Love as I or else I die', or 'I live if aye, if no I die', or 'I live in love until I die'. Similar inscriptions seem to have been in use from the 17th century onwards. The style of lettering on this ring could be late 17th or 18th century.
