Its inner hoop is inscribed with the posie, or poem, Except the Givers Good Will. And some experts believe it was meant to convey a private message between lovers. Shropshire Council hopes to secure grant aid to acquire the items once they have been officially valued in London. “Some thousand years later another woman lost the gold posy ring found in Ludlow. This is also a very personal object as it was probably a gift between lovers with a private message inscribed inside the band.”
