An especially lovely late 18th Century Posy ring, dating from circa 1780. The inner band bears the inscription: "My Love shal last til life be Past". It's modelled in 22 karat gold, with a particularly sweet sentiment. The name "Posy Ring" comes from the type of inscription within, which was usually in rhyme or "posey".
