The Paris Secret Ring Giveaway

In celebration of the release of the print version of The Paris Secret, I’m giving away a replica of the beautiful, sterling silver, French poesy ring featured in the book and pictured above.

  

From inside her shirt she pulled a thin silver chain from which hung a silver band ring. She unfastened the chain to retrieve the ring and handed it to me. The ring was slightly domed and etched with a chain of interlocking figure eights circling its circumference.

 “What is this?” I asked.

“It’s a posy ring. They were quite popular with couples from about 1400 through the seventeenth century. The silver ones were used as engagement rings and were replaced with a gold one upon marriage. Posy comes from the term poesy. It refers to the secret messages of love that were engraved inside each one.” 

I held the ring up and turned it so I could read the message. It read: de m'amour soiez sure. 

“Of my love be sure,” translated Dr. Hewitt.
