Description: "In thy breast let vertue rest".This profoundly personal, treasured message is hidden inside the band of this gorgeous, genuine 1700's posy ring.In solid 22 carat gold, it's a deeply beautiful slim band with some of the best patina around - giving history and authenticity, and is just gorgeous on the finger - a real sleeper piece that looks quite unassuming at first glance. The lettering is beautiful, authentic and characterful, with some charming flourishes and serifs to the ends of some of the letters.It dates to around 1760/70 and bears the maker's monogram 'WE' alongside the inscription.Posy rings became a popular choice for wedding rings during the mid-17th century, when the Puritan culture of Oliver Cromwell's Commonwealth discouraged the wearing of ostentatious jewellery.It's a size 7 and though it could be resized a little, I don't recommend it as there will be loss to the patina. It weighs 1.3 grams and is a wonderful, slim and shallow D-shaped band at 2.2 mm wide. All my items are guaranteed 100% as described or your money back, so buy with confidence!
