1. A History of Silver Rings
The humble silver ring has been used as a symbol representative
of eternity for centuries in many traditions. Silver was first mined
as far back as 4000 B.C. and rings were worn as decoration and
as symbols of prosperity for centuries. Early peoples attached a
special significance to the unbroken Tiffany Notes Earrings circle
represented by the silver ring.
Early Pagan priestesses were often depicted wearing rings, either
singly or in multiple array upon their fingers. Circles are
representative of protective magic and echo the cyclic nature of
life and thus held an important place in the lives of early Pagans.
Silver itself is a metal associated with the moon, due to its colour
and light reflecting qualities which can be compared to the
reflection of moonlight upon still waters.

to the moon which was said to reflect the cyclic nature of a
women's menses and also the feminine qualities inherent in
women. As centuries past jewellers took to carving symbols and
intricate patterns into the silver rings Tiffany Notes Necklace worn
by their clients.

incorporated into the design. Pentagrams became a popular
symbol as did crosses and letters of the alphabet. Often a lover
would give a silver ring with their initials carved into the silver as a
token or declaration of love. This tradition has carried over into the
present day.

gemstones to broad flat bands with little or no adornment and this
preference is the decision of the wearer. The quality of silver
varied greatly until an international standard was imposed and
now most silver is marked with the 925 to symbolize that it is
92.5% silver, with other content being nickel, copper or zinc. The
addition of gems made an appearance along with the decorative
accents of intricate carvings to adorn silver rings.

magical powers and they became powerful Tiffany Notes Pendant

babies cribs to protect them from harm or worn around the neck of
the wearer on a silver chain. Some rings were specifically imbued
with certain qualities, such as courage, concentration, or to aid the
wearer in achieving a certain goal.

and its lore increased. Though this tradition has mostly fallen

ring Tiffany Notes Bracelet that has been passed to them from a
