Description: | A complete gold posy ring of Post Medieval date. The ring is sub circular in plan and rectangular in section. The exterior of the band is plain. Inscribed around the interior band is the phrase 'united hearts death only parts.' The ring is intact, but has been bent out of shape in more than one place. There is also some general wear and tear on the edges of the band. It weighs 2.7g, measuring 21.33mm in diameter and 1.12mm in thickness. Several parallels for this ring in the British Museum collections were kindly found by Caroline Barton: See AF.1392 (http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/search_the_collection_database/search_object_details.aspx?objectid=42786&partid=1) dated to 1705 by the maker's mark and 1961,1202.97 (http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/search_the_collection_database/search_object_details.aspx?objectid=82373&partid=1) dated to 1723-1724/1747 by the maker's mark.
