Silver Rose Posey Ring
This silver posey ring, inspired by Shakespearean history, is a copy of a gold ring found during the excavation of the Rose Playhouse on Bankside. The Rose Playhouse was a contemporary rival of the Globe Theatre and hosted plays by both William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe.
The ring is engraved with the Old French inscription “PENCES POVR MOYE DV”. The letters “DV” stand for the Latin words “Deo Volente”, which translate as “Think of me, God willing”.
The ring is also decorated with a heart and two crossed arrows. As a traditional posey ring, it would have been worn as a romantic token, making it a meaningful piece of Shakespeare-inspired jewellery.
Please note that the ring is a copy of a very old piece of jewellery and although the inside of the ring is perfectly round, the outside has all the imperfections and markings of the original, which adds to the piece’s charm and historical authenticity.
Originally meant for a sweetheart, this silver posey ring still makes a truly special gift for a loved one or for yourself, and comes in a gift box with a brief history of the ring inside.
Available in sterling silver.
