The historic posy ring, inscribed with the words “As I prove I wish your love”, was discovered in Wembworthy and acquired under the Treasure Act 1996.
It now joins the museum's growing collection of regional artefacts.
Posy rings - often exchanged as love tokens - were popular in England between the 15th and 17th centuries.
