Rings
The rings has time and
again been the most popular piece of jewelry. It has been said that the ring is
“the article of jewelry around which centers tradition, antiquity, utility and
symbolic meaning of the greatest reverential character.
When we think of the symbolism of rings, it is possible to
allow our minds to run amok. The convention of giving and receiving finger ring
dates back over approximately 6,000 years. The eighteenth century English
writer, Samuel Johnson, described the ring as “a circular instrument placed
upon the nose of hogs and fingers of women to pin down them and bring them into
subjection.” The earliest use of the ring in the civilized world seems to have
been in making impression or imprints upon wax or clay. This ring, then, was
used to delegate ownership. It was normally too large to be worn upon the
finger, and was sometimes a part of a bracelet or necklace, or just attached to
the waist by a thong or a cord. By the sixteenth century finger rings were
well-known among the ancient Egyptians. Whish lead some to believe that this
was ablaut the time when the finger ring evolved from the signet ring, which
was used as a seal. After several thousand year of ring manufacture the total
number of style produced in vast. Even catalo gin the rings of a single
civilization is a major challenge.
