Finger ring
This gold finger ring is one of a group of 12. It was designed by Violet Blacker for members of the lesbian group Kenric. Kenric donated the ring to the museum, together with the following statement: 'In 1968 the Kenric rings were struck to provide a silent recognition between members: secrecy became style, fashion concealed discretion. Belonging once to the first chairwoman this ring is held in the highest esteem: a beautiful symbol of Kenric's past, as well as, probably, its work in the future.'
