Let's Talk About Sterling Silver Rings and Gemstones
Rings are a very popular form of jewelry! They can represent many things from culture, a commitment such as marriage, an achievement, or even a religious standard. Rings became popular during the medieval times. In those days they were made of silver, gold, copper and even iron. Jewels did not start appearing in rings until around the fourteenth century.
It was fun to learn about the history of rings. Early Christians used a Greek symbol that looks like a fish, the formal name being the Icthus, to identify themselves among other believers. I especially enjoyed the story of how the engagement ring came about. There was an Irish man from Claddagh which is a fishing village. Right before he was to be married, he was captured and became a slave working as a goldsmith. After he escaped years later, he came home to his love to find out that she had never married. They joyously reunited and he gave her a ring with the symbols of a heart, a crown and two hands. That ring is still used today to symbolize commitment of love and friendship that can never be separated. Christians call it a promise ring and wear it as a commitment to God to stay pure until marriage. Of course there is also birthstone rings which have stones to represent each month in the year. My birthday is in September so my stone is the lovely sapphire.
A ring is a significant piece of jewelry and Gilbert and Frech has one of the largest selections of gemstone rings to choose from. Our sizes range from 5 to 10. Once again, all of our rings are made from 100 percent sterling silver. We have many different designs and our artisans continue to create new ones as the fashion trends change.
It is still amazing to me know that there are so many uses for silver and that it has such a rich history. It is such a pretty color and reflects gemstones in a way that just enhances their beauty. I have so much more appreciation for my silver jewelry now and I view it as an investment. Next time you purchase a piece of silver jewelry take a few moments to reflect on this journey we have taken together. I know it will make your new piece just a little bit more special!
