The unusual design of this memorial ring is formed of two black enamel scrolls which commemorate Betty and Henry Savory who died in 1792 and 1798. Memorial rings have been made to commemorate people since the sixteenth century. Money was often left in wills in order for rings to be made for named individuals or to be distributed at the funeral. A general convention holds that white enamel rings were used for children and those who died unmarried and that black was used for those who were married but this convention was not universally observed.
