The Origin of Rings


It was said that the rulers of ancient Egypt was the earliest ring wearer.

They started so about three thousand years ago as a symbol of power and nobility.

The noble Egyptian people back then usually carried a chop around to symbolize their status.

Due to the inconvenience of carrying things around,
they invented rings for the adornment of their authority.

People soon found out the beauty of wearing rings.

After years of advancement, rings have become a daily jewel for many.
