Description: | An early-modern gold finger-ring, D-shaped in cross-section and measuring 23.3mm in diameter (internal 19.3mm). It measures 4.2x1.7mm in cross-section and weighs 6.28g. The hoop is udnecorated to the outside surface but bears the inscriptionLet our accord, bee blest o lordto the inside surface, followed by the maker's mark GS within a rectangular area.The maker 'GS' can be seen on other similar rings on the British Museum online collections database (http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/search.aspx?searchText=posy+ring+gs), and interestingly these all have religious inscriptions too. His date is c.1741 and as such the find does not qualify as potential Treaure, being less than 300 years old at the time of recording (www.finds.org.uk/treasure).
