Description: | A complete gold posy finger ring dating to the 16th or 17th century.The ring is a simple which is D-shaped in section. There is no decoration on the outside but there is an inscription on the inside which reads x I x LIKE x MY x CHOYCE x. All of the letters are captials and there is a small cross at the start, end and in between each of the words of the inscription.This inscription is known to have been used from the 16th century through to the early 18th century and the capital lettering suggests the earlier end of this date range (compared to IOW-879D84). A similar example is also on the PAS database as BUC-6C6913 and although this has a different inscription the suggestion that the sharp edges are indicative of little wear also holds in this case.
