Medieval rings, from those examples that have survived, prove to be a trove of imagination and variation. In ancient days, a ring distinguished an individual in ways that other forms of jewellery did not. Rings represented the language of social code and portrayed one's standing. Under the Empire, a ring was considered a privilege of military distinction (in Roman times) and of Betrothal or Promise (in the Byzantine to Medieval periods). During all of the ancient past, rings signified a position of dignity and at times represented the owner of the ring as if he were actually present (the seal ring). we have a wonderful symbol of promise or betrothal ring. The modern wedding ceremony did not exist until the Medieval period, so a couple would exchange rings in a variety of ceremonies; from just the two of them off in the woods or in a field, to a family or large social ceremony. The purpose of marriage was not well defined in ancient times, until the late Medieval period. Marriages in different sub-cultures lasted from a lifetime, all the way down to (ancient Celtic) a "year and a day." Unlike modern jewellery, this ring is made of solid, high grade silver sparing nothing to its construction. It likely was more of a statement of who the person was, far more so than today. It is unfortunate that the "popular" jewellery of today is manufactured by production lines with no significance or importance. All too many jewellers of today suffer with such a lack of imagination forgetting that soulful individuals will accent their lives with their jewellery for many years. Guaranteed Authenticity!
