Jewelry is defined as a decorative object that people wear on their body for personal adornment, cultural reasons or symbolic nature. In Egypt, as far as 3,000 years ago, rings were used as symbolism for love. Egyptians viewed the circle as a symbol of eternity, and the ring served to signify the never ending love between a couple.  They also believed in wearing a symbolic ring on the ring finger of the left hand because they thought it has a special vein connected from that finger,  directly to the heart.  Jewelry is still the most symbolic statement of love and the perfect Valentine’s day gift. Show the world your love and devotion and celebrate your relationship with a gift of  jewelry.
