EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and diverse world of British hand-rings throughout history. The engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the customs and traditions surrounding marriage, betrothal, and other significant occasions. The image features a wide array of rings with various designs and materials such as gold, silver, jet, and brass. Each ring tells its own story - from ancient Anglo-Saxon devices to royal wedding adornments. One can spot rings associated with King Charles I's era or those engraved with poison circuits for protection against harm. The craftsmanship displayed is truly remarkable; every detail meticulously etched onto these precious pieces of jewelry. From signet rings to gimmal rings symbolizing unity between two souls, this collection represents centuries-old traditions that have stood the test of time. Not only do these hand-rings serve as symbols of love and commitment but they also hold historical significance. They were exchanged as gifts during betrothals or used to commemorate weddings while others were worn in mourning for lost loved ones. Through this enchanting print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and cultural importance attached to British hand-rings. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly small objects can carry immense meaning within our society's rich tapestry of tradition and heritage.
