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, faceted glass setting of indeterminate colour. 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. Five still retain the small, circular, orange glass setting only one is missing. A circular stamp has been used to emphasise each of the circular settings. The band is thinner at the back of the ring, opposite the bezel, due to wear. There are traces of a thick surface coating that is now black, the identification of this material is unclear.

A similar finger ring is recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme - LON-D53E95.

Dimensions: width of band: 2.27mm, narrowing to 1.65mm where the band is worn; thickness of band: 1.07mm; diameter of bezel: 6.23mm; diameter of smaller settings: 1.61mm; diameter of band: 17.17mm; weight: 1.19g.
