Description: | A post-medieval copper-alloy finger ring.The hoop is of oval cross section, with a slight narrowing at the back. The hoop continues across the back of the bezel, the latter of which comprises a circular setting with grooved rim and a faceted inset of clear glass or rock crystal.Width: 14.3mm; length/depth: 16.6mm. Weight: 1.34g.The date of this ring is based on the presence of the faceted inset, which is a common feature of finger rings from the 17th century onwards. A similar ring, albeit in gold, is Treasure case 2014 T574 (SWYOR-DB246B), which was dated to the mid-17th to mid-18th century. A slightly wider date range is suggested for this piece.
