Latin Posie Ring - Silver

Posie rings were popularized during the 15th - 17th centuries in both England and France, often inscribed with short poems or concealed messages. Tokens of affection for special friends or lovers. This ring is inscribed with 2 old Latin adages: “Alis Propriis Volat.” and “Audere est Facere.” Which translates to: “She flies with her own wings,” and “To do is to dare.”  Note: the gender pronoun is considered feminine in its original context, as it referred to cities and countries.
