The history of jewelry begins with necklaces made of bones and animal teeth. Jewelry made of gold and silver is believed to have made its appearance with the ancient Egyptians more than 3,000 years ago.  Even Confucius seemed to prefer diamonds when he said, "Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without."

The wedding ring, or "circle", symbolized perfection, perfect unity with no beginning and no end. Egyptians first used the circle as a symbol of eternity, but wearing a ring as a public pledge to honor the marriage contract did not become customary until Roman times. It was King Edward VI of England that designated the third finger, of the left hand, as the ring finger in the Book of Common Prayer (1549).

As Joseph Roux once said,
"A fine quotation is a diamond
on the finger of a man of wit,
and a pebble in the hand of a fool."
