Rings
Rings are normally a round band which is worn on the finger. Other types of ring normally are referred to by stating which body part they are intended for. i.e. toe-ring, ear-ring, arm-ring etc. A ring can be made from almost any material. The most popular examples are made from gold or silver and may sometimes be set with gemstones.
Although often worn as a fashion accessory or display of wealth, rings frequently have a more symbolic meaning. This can be associated with wedding and engagement or even to signify membership of a club or organization.
In addition, there is a great deal of history and sometimes superstition attached to the wearing of rings. Some of this can be fascinating and there is always something to learn.
