Provenance

Unearthed near Fakenham in East Rudham, Norfolk. Taking into consideration the sumptuary laws of the time and the incredible cost that would have gone into the creation of such a ring, it is highly likely that this piece would have been owned by someone of note, but we can only wonder as to who this would have been.

Condition

This ring is in fine condition, commensurate with its age.

Director's Notes

This type of finger-ring is known from 16th-century portraits, such as that on the forefinger of Frances Brandon, Duchess of Suffolk, painted in 1539 and reproduced in Oman
1974, pl. 25A. Oman illustrates several examples and comments that they were immensely popular from c. 1530 until they went out of fashion c. 1600 (Oman 1974, 23-24).
