Because the inscription was on the inside of the band, posy rings carried a sentiment that was private - a secret between the giver and the wearer. The message was often engraved in Old or Middle English, French, or Latin. Posys were usually exchanged as betrothal rings, and this surviving treasure from around 1780 would make a hell of a wedding band today. "Let Love Continue" was a playful, hopeful message that reflected the personal bond between the couple. It's universal and timeless. These rings are extremely rare.
