A History of The Ring

Embark for a discovery of the history of the ring: from wedding rings to heraldic signets, from devotion rings to contemporary artists’ creations.
It is one of the oldest forms of bodily adornment: worn by both men and women, declaration of social or political status, marker of significant life events, expression of identity or protective talisman, the ring presents a diversity of aspects and functions.
A true miniature work of art, the ring is also the expression of the boundless creativity of goldsmiths and jewelers.

You are do right about having to reset the ring when getting it resized; made that mistake with a vintage ring I bought and thankfully the gem is in it's original excellent condition but I am gonna need a whole new setting. man I loved this talk; really fun and fascinating. Hope to see more like this and you get to talk more about the subjects you couldn't cover here.

We must face the reality that modern creations are very ugly. They convey chaos and non-symmetry. Any of the older collections are absolute marvels.
