Title
2008 T772 inscription 2
Description
English: Gold finger-ring

This is a thin gold ring inscribed inside in lower case script with an inscription that is hard to read but may be a version of 'Live, love and be happy', as recorded in J, Evans, English Posies and Posy Rings, 1931. Two words certainly are legible in the middle of the text as 'and love'. The maker's mark is not decipherable; due to this fact it is therefore not possible to confirm that this ring is more than 300 years old.

Due to the undiagnostic nature of the find it cannot be securely dated to pre-1708 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.
