Hand-engraved rings by Lost Owl.
A simple band, a hidden promise.
Our ode to the Posy Rings of the Middle Ages. We have long since been enchanted by these humble rings and the lofty messages they conceal. Popular in Medieval and Renaissance Europe, they were given as a token of love, affection and fidelity. They are the ancestors to the wedding bands we exchange today.
Posy from the French "poésie" meaning poetry refers to the short poem or motto inscribed on the inside of the band, to be worn against the skin. A promise, a devotion, a spell. Perhaps the most intimate piece of jewellery we can wear.
Antique 22ct gold bands engraved by hand with messages of devotion, loyalty, resistance or protection. Powerful spells indeed.
