18th Century Posy Ring "Remember To Die" Size:10 Evidence of an old resizeDATE: Georgian, c. 1750 An 18th Century posy ring, the inscription to the inner band reads: "Remember to die." I wasn't sure if I'd read it correctly at first; these rings more often than not have a religious message, but this one doesn't. It's just cool. Dating from the mid 18th Century, circa 1750, it's modelled in 22 karat gold. MEASUREMENTS Width of band: 3. 0mm WEIGHT 1. 2g MARKS Inscription: "M J Remember to die" Tests as 22k gold CONDITION Very
