Title
A Post-medieval gold posey ring probably mid to late 16th century
Description
English: A Post-medieval gold posy ring probably mid to late 16th century which is a simple gold band posy ring with a broad band, a plain exterior and inscribed inside which is relatively rare with a brief sentiment I:LYKE:MY:CHOYCE. It would have been used as a lover's token, a wedding ring, or simply as a means of showing regard or giving a gift. Posy rings were popular during the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries in England and France as lovers' gifts. The language used in many early posy rings was Norman French, with French, Latin and English used in later times. The posies were originally written on the outside, moving to the hidden inside of the ring in later mid 16th Century onwards times. The diameter is 18mm and the weight 1.45g. Similar to LANCUM-396AD0 and BUC-6C6913 on the database.
