The ongoing custom of wearing rings makes them a form of ornamentation transcending, across cultures and generations, from one particular emotion attached (sometimes) to their wearers, to becoming a much manlier type of totem carried by individuals for over a century now. Rings have, from ancient times to the present moment in design, linked up to give the emotional air to this everlasting ornament.
Prepared to Jump – A History and Importance
Rings have a history that drops in Egypt and Greece, and we have Rome, and maybe it dates back thousands of years. The beautiful rings of ancient Egypt were made either of bone ivory or metal, mostly with themes of religion attached, or else in protective motifs. It is hardly surprising that the Romans took to these signet rings, each unique in its inscription to convey the owner’s power over documents sealed by its impression.
In the Middle Ages, rings became more and more designed of precious stones, together with fantastically shaped motifs. Some begin to be associated to some extent with exoticism, wealth, and, in fact, magic. Hence, it became a belief that these rings could act as a talisman for the person who wears them for protection against evil spirits.
Types of Rings
Currently, hand rings are used in different ways, each type having its meaning: A few of the types would be as follows:
Diamonds and other gemstones are set in engagement rings, signifying love and commitment, along with eternity rings or wedding bands exchanged at the time of the ceremony to depict everlasting love and companionship. An aristocracy, engraved with a family emblem or the bearer’s initials tangible, had been signet rings. Dressy and bold, these are to be flaunted: cocktail rings. Stack rings are individual thin rings designed to be put together for a style statement. Mood rings fluctuate their colors depending on the wearer’s body temperature believed to reflect his mood.
Choosing the Right Ring
Choosing a hand ring for oneself is a very personal decision influenced by personal tastes, occasions, and the preferred metal. Gold, silver, platinum, and titanium are metals mostly associated with rings. Pick among diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and suddenly, the ring will become priceless and meaningful.
They then evolve beyond just a style statement. But they rather gain significance and are attached to precious memories of important events, relationships, or even personal accomplishments. To many, a hand ring has the power of being that most treasured thing in love or heritage, and for some, it is the self-expression with which rings become eternal adornments.
