History:
From Solomon’s Song
of Songs, Chapter 2, verse 16, the most passionate declaration of love
in the Bible. This 15th century phrase is engraved in black letter
face around the outside of the Band.
The chapter begins:
1 I am the rose of Sharon, and
the lily of the valleys.
And closes:
17 Until the day break and the shadows flee away, turn, my
beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of
Bether.”
