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.”
