Description: | Treasure Number: 2013 T518Date: Post-Medieval, 16th to 17th centuryDescription: A complete silver Post-Medieval finger-ring, D-shaped in section. The interior of the hoop bears the inscription in capital letters 'I LIKE MY CHOYCE' while the exterior of the hoop is plain. The letters of the inscription are fairly small and do not fill the width of the interior of the hoop. There are traces of original gilding on the interior of the hoop. Dimensions:Height: 6.4 mmThickness: 1.5 mmWeight: 4.2 gDiameter: 21.4 mmDiscussion: Variations of this inscription are common and several are recorded in J. Evans, English posies and posy rings, Oxford, 1931, p.54. Normally a capital letter inscription would use the full interior width but the use of capital letters suggests a 16th- 17th Century date.
