Rings
Rings are typically round bands which are 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.
