Examples
The first crosslet is charged with an annulet, probably as a mark of cadency.
The Annulet seems to have been taken from the ring armour, much in use about the period of the Norman Conquest.
Cotgrave gives: 'Touret, the annulet, or little ring whereby a hawk's lune is fastened unto the jesses.'
Said of any charge when its central area is removed—thus, an Annulet is a false roundle.
