History Of Rings

1. History Of Rings From engagement rings to wedding rings and eternity to commitment rings. Men's and women's rings have been around for hundreds of years, to signify togetherness and belonging. However, they have not always been thought upon as a romantic gift, as they are now. The wearing of women's rings used to signify that she was owned by her man. As opposed to it showing union, it was more of a symbol of possession. Rings were also used as a social status, with the use of precious stones and precious metals belonging only to the very rich. Gold bands with multi-colored gemstones were extremely popular before the Roman times, during the Hellenistic period. Both men's and women's rings were often worn in excess, with history suggesting people often wore 6 rings on every finger to show their status and wealth. Eventually, however, this changed and jewelry pieces became more sophisticated. Leading, eventually to what we see now. Nowadays, rings are very much a pleasure and a joy. How lucky we are to be able to enjoy the beauty and diversity of such stunning jewelry pieces. Rings are now used to represent commitment and love, they are a gift.
