History:
Poesy Rings were popular throughout Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries, most
particularly in England and France with French and Latin inscriptions being the
most common. Their popularity is attested to by the frequent mention of
poesy rings in Shakespeare's plays. This ring however, is a modern
rendition, designed as a 21st century piece of jewelry. The sentiment is
taken from a 16th century ring, but has been redesigned with fine modern cursive
script on a broad, simple contemporary band. Hand-cast by the
lost-wax method
in the US.
