by James Remington McCarthy ‧ RELEASE DATE: Nov. 7, 1945
A winnowing, but not too skeletal elimination, of the lore, history and meanings of finger rings,- superstitions, uses, significance. The part rings have played in customs; belief in them as talismans; the lore of engagement and wedding rings; types of rings and how they are made. An interesting collection of facts and fancy that adds color to an odd corner of social history.
