The origin of the ring
Hi all stemian
Good morning
Like my promise in the previous post I will briefly describe the origin of the use of the ring. Let's see if it becomes knowledge even less useful.
The origin of the use of the ring in human civilization itself is not so clear today. Nevertheless, some historians believe that the object is a modified form of a cylindrical seal worn first on the neck or arm by the ancients. In the end, the cylinder seal continues to innovate and diminish in size, so it can also be applied to the fingers. Some archaeological findings show that the ring has been used by Egyptians since the period of the Old Kingdom (2686-2181 BC). Including a ring with the design of a scarab beetle (a creature that is considered sacred by the Ancient Egyptians), said Gerald Taylor and Diana Scarisbrick in the book Finger Rings: From Ancient Egypt to the Present Day. Adorning the fingers with the ring began to become a common tradition among the peoples of the country during the period of the Middle Kingdom (2000-1700 BC). Ring design that is used even more complex and diverse. Furthermore, in the New Kingdom period (1550-1077 BC), Egyptians also wore a ring made of fayans (a type of ceramic). "At that time, the ancient Egyptians were already familiar with modeling and molding techniques, so that fayans rings can be produced in large quantities," explains A Kaczmarczy through his Ancient Egyptian Faience. From Egypt the tradition of wearing a ring spread to other countries. In Aceh, especially the use of the ring today becomes a habit of itself because the ring is one of the hand accessories in addition to the use of hand hours.
There are various types of stones that may be suitable for your collection of rings like;
