Title
Post-medieval gold posy fede ring from Chelmsford area, Essex
Description
English: Gold and enamel fede ring from 'Chelmsford area', Essex

Description: A thin gold ring the bezel in the form of clasped hands enamelled white, the shoulders decorated with enamel scrollwork in blue, red and white enamel, and ending in 'cuffs'. Inscribed inside in capitals: *THINKE x OF x ME*, with the original black enamel. Before the word 'OF' is a five-petal flower enamelled in blue.

Date: Probably early 17th century.

Discussion: For a ring with a similar capital letter inscription in the British Museum (THINK ON ME), see Dalton 1912, no. 1302. For a ring with clasped hands and similar shoulders dated 1605, see exhibition catalogue Princely Magnificence, London V&A 1980, no.61.

Metal content: The precious metal content of the ring fulfils the requirements of the Treasure Act in that it is greater than 10%.
