Fashion Rings

Rings have been worn throughout history from Cleopatra to Princess Diana. From the Hindus and the Greeks to the Ancient Incas and Native Americans, the influence of rings has been dramatic. Rings have been used to confer authority, seal pacts, unite people, heal sickness, prevent ill luck, foretell the future and announce status. The "fit" of a ring is very important to comfort, yet unlike size, it is also an integral part of the overall ring style. When we talk about the fit of a ring, we are referring to the shank or band. This could represent either part of the design or the entire ring, depending on the type of ring.
