The first ring has a flattened band with a slightly raised circular face engraved with a diamond shape that represents a woman's vagina. While seemingly crass today, genitalia imagery was a popular talisman for fertility. The next is a ring has a broad-shouldered shank, and a slightly protruding face that is engraved, but the marks are faint, perhaps the owner's initials or mark.
