godiseven: lettersfromtheattic: keiren-smith: A woman’s “memorial poesy ring” from 1592, made of gold and rock crystal. On the ring’s inner surface is inscribed, “The cruel seas, remember, took him in November.” this is so beautiful. I love jewellry from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. I would actually wear rings if I could get one that looked like this. It’s more beautiful for being imperfect. wow
