In Renaissance England or France, a wedding ring would invariably be inscribed with a sentiment of love, faith, and hope. A posy or poesy (pronounced the same) is a short love poem. The popularity of these posy rings is attested to by their frequent mention in Shakespeare’s plays: “Is this the prologue or the poesy of a ring?” The tradition is dates to the 12th C., but it was during the Renaissance (14th-17th C.) that the custom reached the height of popularity. Very often a sterling silver betrothal ring would often be replaced with the same poesy ring in gold upon marriage. Though beautiful in gold, posy rings reach their apogee of excellence in platinum. It’s the most naturally white, durable, and dense metal used in jewelry today.
