About this book
Egyptian signet rings, betrothal and wedding rings, token rings, memorial rings and rings carrying a posy or motto all have a place in this 1877 study by William Jones, a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. He first meant to write only about ring superstitions, then widened the book to the history, legends and anecdotes of rings generally. Chapters cover secular investiture by the ring, rings in church usage and some remarkable individual rings. Many of the engravings were drawn from objects in the British Museum and other museums.
