Title
A Post Medieval copper alloy finger ring with glass setting
Description
English: A Post Medieval copper alloy finger ring with glass setting dating late 17th - early 18th century. The finger ring has a circular bezel with a circular, clear glass setting. The edge of the bezel has been repeatedly stamped to form a decorative edge, there is also a ridge below this band of decoration. There are three smaller circular settings on each of the shoulders. One still retains the small, circular, green glass setting and one retains a fragment of blue glass; the others are all missing their setting. A circular stamp has been used to emphasise each of the circular settings. The shape of the band has been slightly distorted by damage, probably caused post deposition. There is an irregular hole on the back of the bezel which might be a casting flaw.

Dimensions: width of band: 2.31mm; thickness of band: 1.11mm; diameter of bezel: 9.59mm; diameter of smaller settings: 2.86mm; diameter of band: 21.27mm; weight: 2.11g.

Identification by Hazel Forsyth, Senior Post Medieval Curator, Museum of London.
