The infinite world of jewelry has hundreds of thousands of designs, across countless jewelry types. Even before humans learn to wear clothes, they have been wearing jewelry as a symbol of status, wealth, fashion and most recently as an expression of love and commitment. From simple rings (for both girls and guys) to elaborate necklaces, from tiny ear studs to highly exotic body jewelry, adornments have come a long way from their origins thousands of years ago.

Yes, the ring worn on the fingers of either hand is the most common and the most popular jewelry item around the world. People of almost every country, culture and religion wear rings in some of the other form. Rings vary from simple metal bands of gold, silver or platinum to the more elaborate creations \u2013 rings set with solitaires, intricately set semi-precious or precious stones or diamonds, filigreed large rings, cocktail or party rings, and many more. The list is virtually endless.
