Description: | Copper alloy finger ring. Cast D section band with a legend stamped on the inner side in unseriffed angular capitals, reading: I LIVE IN HOPE. The irregularity of the alignment of letters, and the uneven depths to which they are struck, might hint at the stamping of the legend on an already annular object with a punch held at an angle, perhaps applying it to a cheap ring already acquired as a fairing. The letter style appears relatively recent. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1820-1900.Internal diameter: 17mm, Band Width: 4.4mm, Band Thickness: 1.3mm, Weight: 2.09gms
