RINGS

Rings are noted everywhere in nature. The idea

of a circle gives out notions of eternity, with no
beginning and no ending. The symbolism of the
ring later became a status symbol of authority,
wealth, and position-especially in the ancient
Roman world. This idea of the ring as a status
symbol is derived from the ring’s cosmetic
qualities, which is seen in its ―value‖ to some as an
adornment of the body.
TYPES OF RING
1. BIRTHSTONE RINGS -
Usually a
slender, simple ring
(sometimes
consisting of a band), set
with the
wearer's birthstone, or the
birthstone
of the wearer's spouse.
2. TOE RING - A toe ring is a
ring made out of various metals and
non-metals worn on any of the toes.
The second toe of either foot is
where they are worn most
commonly. This is because
proportionately it's the longest toe
and thus the easiest toe to put a ring
on and stay without being
connected to anything else.
3. WEDDING RING - A ring
presented at the time of marriage
to signify espousal and marital
commitment. Originally worn only
by women, it is now common for
both spouses to wear such a ring.
A wedding ring or wedding band
is a metal ring indicating the
wearer is married. Depending on
the local culture, it is worn on the
base of the right or the left ring
finger

5. MOOD RING - The mood
ring was invented by Joshua
Reynolds. Mood rings enjoyed
fad popularity in the 1970s and
are still around today. The stone
of the ring changes color,
supposedly according to the
mood or emotional state of the
wearer.
