"Yours Only" Silver Poesy Ring

Product Description

Adorn the one you adore with a message of "yovrs onli" (yours only). This reproduction silver poesy ring is based on the inscription found on the original, now in the British Museum collections. The gold original of this ring, with a delicate interlacing pattern engraved on the outside, was enameled in black, red, and white.

Inspiration

Poesy jewelry - sometimes spelled posy, posey, or posie - is a piece of jewelry inscribed with a sentiment, typically a romantic one, that was popular during the 15th - 17th centuries as gold rings. The styles and materials have evolved, but giving a loved one a piece of engraved jewelry with a personal message of love is timeless.
