Even the gods of Greece were given rings—Hermes’s golden rings, Hephaestus’s wedding band, Apollo’s radiant ring—each an artifact containing divine attributes. Outside myth, rings have signified earthly power for centuries.

From medieval signet rings and royal seals to the Papal Ring of the Fisherman, they conferred authority and connected rulers to the sacred.

Rings are also believed to heal, protect, and channel unseen energies. 

They signify commitment and identity, most famously in the exchanging of wedding bands.

Across cultures and time, rings have stood for dominion, destiny, and the self. 

Perhaps that is why they continue to beckon from shop windows and market stalls—quiet symbols of power, waiting for a hand to claim them.
