Poesie rings date as early as classical times, when they were considered magical, having the power when worn to enforce the poesy engraved on them.  

In the 16th and 17th century England and France, a wedding ring would be inscribed with a sentiment of love, faith and hope. A silver betrothal ring would often be replaced with the same poesy ring in gold on marriage.

The rings reached their greatest popularity during the Renaissance when they were not only given as wedding rings, but used as a lover’s token or simply as a means of showing fond regard or giving a gift. 

Many of Shakespeare’s plays mention them such as Hamlet Act III, scene 2, “Is this a prologue or the poesy of a ring.”

The poesie rings repesent deep intimate feelings of people. Such rings were given on various occasions, but as one can clearly see, mostly as tokens of engagement or as wedding rings. 

Not many of the verses can be considered true gems of literature, but the power of these short love poems is in their romantic sincerity and old time charm. Their brevity is naturally dictated by the limitations of space – only one or two phrases used to fit on a ring. 

Modern day Valentines are influenced by this genre, but some of these rhymed lines have apparently gone unnoticed for centuries.

Popular during the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries in England and France as lovers gifts. 

The Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, England has an outstanding collection. Recently jewellery designers have led a resurgence of interest in the tradition. The Victoria and Albert museum in London also has a good collection.that compiled a list of more than 3000 posies for the book ‘English Posies and Posy Rings’ (oxford Press 1931, out of print).

The language used in many early posy rings was Norman French, with French, Latin and English used in later times. The posies were originally written on the outside, moving to the hidden inside of the ring in later (mid 16th Century onwards) times.

Here is a list of poesy phrases used in past centuries and the museums where the original rings can be found. These are accurate to the original spellings.
