Posy rings were popular as lover's gifts in England and France during the 15th-17th centuries. They were gold and inscribed with a short phrase. In this romantic 17th century example the ring has been inscribed with 'two hands, one heart, till death us part'. A beautiful sentiment, if a little creepy now with the added image of the skull for death! #posyring #romantichistory #fashionhistory #historyoffashion #17thcenturyfashion #17thcenturyhistory #dresshistory #wedding https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn08AevFEy8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1eb7bdn440ebu
