Description: | Silver and Gemstone Finger Ring fragment. Cast band of flat D section, expanding towards a sunken bezel retaining a flat oval stone of length 11.2mm with lightly bevelled edges, of a dull orange tint with golden reflective particles. Indistinct traces of a monogram suggest this may be a worn signet ring. Decoration comprises fine rocker work borders to the shoulders and bezel of the ring, the former confining incised curvilinear vegetal scrolls, and sprays at the sides of the bezel. About one third of the hoop is lost. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1725-1800.Internal diameter: c.17mm, Width (bezel): 13.4mm, Thickness (shoulder): 3.6mm, Weight: 3.96gms.
