Latin Engraving on Rings

 

I expect many of you have seen on the television or read in the papers that the largest hoard of Anglo Saxon gold has been found in Staffordshire.

Apparently it possibly dates to the 7th century and you can read a lot more about it on the bbc website.

The main picture on this page shows a stunning piece of gold with a latin enscription and I particularly noticed this because right here in the 21st century we are still doing the same!

Latin Engraved Ring

This ring was from our ready to wear collection and was designed by Harriet. The latin enscription reads 'In saecula saeculorum" which the latin scholars amount you will know means 'forever and ever' perhaps a little nicer than the enscription on the anglo saxon jewellery that reads 'Rise up O Lord, and may thy enemies be dispersed and those who hate thee be driven from thy face'!
