A Posy – or Poesy – Ring for Your Love!

Originally used as betrothal rings in the Middle Ages to the Renaissance period, posy rings – also known as poesy rings – are still highly coveted today as wedding rings expressing a tender sentiment and lifelong commitment. The name posy or poesy is derived from the French word “poésie,” or “poem.” The earliest known posy rings were made in about the 5th C AD, and they continued to be popular throughout about the 15th C. In truth, they never did fade from use, and today’s brides and grooms still clamor to express a loving or religious sentiment – or both – on wedding rings.

We are the posy ring specialists. We will create for you a posy ring of any width, weight, lettering, language (for some languages, we will ask you to supply the lettering in the language of your choice), and precious metal. We are even able to create some custom posy rings in sterling silver – those with lettering only or with a simple symbol. Please do not hesitate to reach out to Mandira about your made-to-order posy ring(s).

We especially love to make posy rings with proprietary medieval or Gaelic-style fonts. We are the only jeweler making posy rings for which we will supply your choice of words in several antique fonts you won’t see elsewhere, from which you may choose. And if you want your lettering in a more modern font, well, simply let us know, and we’ll make your rings exactly how you wish them!
