The ring has become a jewel that we wear every day. We change it, we adapt it according to our activities...

Do you know the history of this precious jewel?

The first rings date from prehistoric times and were discovered around 21,000 BC. These are fine mammoth ivory rings.

In Anatolia, the first signet rings dating from the Hitite civilization were discovered, but it was not until the civilization of the Pharaohs to find the first gold rings. It is both a mark of social status and a signature.

It is in Greece that we see the first rings adorned with a stone on a bronze or silver ring; the number of rings one wears shows the social level.

Under the Romans, the iron ring shows servitude and the gold ring freedom, but many are found in silver, amber or ivory.

In the Middle Ages, they were adorned with precious stones and there was a choice between copper, bronze, silver or gold rings.

So the ring has long been an ornament suitable for both men and women and also showing one's social status.

It is therefore important to reserve a place of choice for it when we leave it, to match its beauty and prestige.
