Rings Throughout History
There is a long history to the existence of rings offered to mates as signs of betrothal, love, and celebration. Cultures across the world embraced the significance of rings worn with this symbolism and early on began traditions of engraving them with dates, initials, blessings, and a number of other marked features.
Modern rings today can encapsulate vintage or antique styles, or incorporate completely new looks. The couple has seemingly endless ways in which to express their love, commitment, individuality, and interests. More often than not, it is the setting that sets the stage and makes all the difference in the look and feel of the ring as you will explore on the following pages:
