An antique ring has highly symbolic meanings and a story that makes it extremely fascinating and unique. Rings have been used as accessories from ancient times, supposedly from the Bronze Age. The use of signet rings was common among the Mesopotamian civilizations, which made them symbols of authority and honour; today, this particular use of rings is still existing in high clergy and heraldry. Then, the shape of rings with not beginning and no end makes them a symbol of eternity. That is why the ancient Romans started to use rings to seal engagements and marriages.

In the Middle Ages rings were believed to heal diseases and to protect. In legends and folk tales they have often had deep and hidden meanings, and also initiatory, supernatural and ritualistic powers.
