"Wedding band ring sales, poesy, titanium, steel, posey, hand crafted and strellmans lens cut gemstone jewelry."








Back ] Home ] Up ] Next ]

In the 16th and 17th centuries in England, France and throughout Europe, a wedding band would invariably be inscribed with a sentiment of love, faith and hope. A "posie" is a short poem or inscription.  The popularity of these "poesy rings"  is attested to by their frequent mention in Shakespeare's plays. The tradition is much older than Shakespeare's time, but it was during the Renaissance that the custom reached the height of its popularity. It was common to give a sterling silver ring as a betrothal gift or engagement ring as we call them now, the wedding ring would bear the same sentiment in gold.  Many are faithful copies of museum originals, some modern recreations of recorded rings which are now lost, others are contemporary creations.

 
Some finger sizes on hand, others made just for you taking up to 4 weeks to ship.
Feel free to inquire about the availability of a particular size/metal 


All bands, with the exception of platinum, have their designs and inscriptions dark oxidized to bring out the detail.  Gold bands can be made without the oxidation if you prefer.
  Platinum cannot be oxidized.
