  • Shakespeare and the Wedding Ring Tradition

    407 Words  | 1 Pages

    Rings were common mainly among the richer parts of society, who could afford such a token. Mary Queen of Scots sent a diamond ring to Thomas Duke of Norfolk to indicate her willingness to marry him. However, peasants would give smaller tokens or none at all. It was usually the case that everyone in a village knew who was married, so no symbol was necessary. In the case that a man wishes to break a wedding contract, he must give back double all of the tokens he has received, usually a collection of small items. This made it even less practical for the poorer people in society to give rings.

    Ancient Roman men offered their women a ring as a symbol of ownership. The circle was the symbol of eternity, with no beginning and no end. The hole in the center of the ring symbolized a gateway leading to events both known and unknown. These rings were called betrothal rings. They were made of iron, to symbolize strength and permanence. The more expensive the material was demonstrated the wealth of the giver, which was why iron was the most common ring material. The Romans were the first to wear the ring on the fourth finger of the left hand, otherwise known as the ring ...

    Traditionally, and to this day, rings also indicate love and affection. The most common and widespread form of this is, of course, the wedding or engagement ring. This is not a tradition divorced from the symbolism of wealth or power, however, especially in the context of the text — in Shakespeare's time, wedding rings were a tradition mostly confined to the upper merchant and noble classes, since the poor simply could not afford them.

  • My Ring

    341 Words  | 1 Pages

    Several days later, the time came to put my choices onto paper. I chose to have a small dainty sterling silver ring, because I was never too fond of gold. I wanted to include as much as possible on this tiny souvenir, so I chose wisely. For the stone placed at the top of the ring, I chose a translucent rectangular peridot, my birthstone. Underneath the stone, I asked for praying hands, to show my belief in the power of prayer. The stone, the booklet had said, raises above the surface about a centimeter, and on this raised slope, I chose to put the words "Big Spring High". On one side of the ring was to be my name, my graduation date, 2002, and a colorguard icon. Colorguard was very important to me, so I was sure not to leave my favorite extra curricular activity out of my ring. On the other side of the stone, I chose to have our school mascot icon and the word "Steers" engraved. On the inside, I wanted my full name, Melissa Renee Kreher, to appear in cursive, so if for some unfortunate accident I lost this ring, hopefully an upstanding person could return the ring to me.
