Description: | A cast silver ring, probably dating to post-1710 and therefore not a Treasure case. The ring is formed from a hoop with no bezel. The hoop is circular with a D-shaped section. The outer surface is decorated with an incised flowing vine or leaf design. The wavy markings could indicate a 17th Century date, but the lack of an inscription and a maker's mark means that you can reasonably say there is not enough evidence to confirm a date more than 300 years old.The metal is a mid greyish-silver colour and is slightly worn. The ring is 20.6mm in diameter, 19.6mm thick and weighs 1.8g.Comments from : Judy Rudoe, Curator at the British Museum
