the medieval 13th century lovers posy ring

An outstanding medieval posy ring with rectangular section hoop, bears the inscription: '+ ETIB II N I TAMOR' in Roman/Lombardic capitals on the exterior hoop. The inscription is punctuated with a number of patterns incorporating dots, a swirl and a double V (a small v sitting within a larger V) so it appears as: + . ET.IB . II : vV . N : ~ : I : TAMOR.
The inscription has been partially deciphered and appears to read: “And to you I love you”.
Circa AD 1200-1500, the band is misshapen but is still in fully wearable condition, with usual marks commensurate with age.
This ring was discovered by a detectorist at Bradfield, Essex in 2022. Bradfield, in 1086, had a recorded population of just 22 households. This ring has been recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database, ref: ESS-B9A945, and disclaimed as Treasure, ref: 2022-T770.
