History of Poesy Rings: Our
museum reproduction poesy rings are often given as sterling silver
wedding bands, or engagement rings. Most Poesy Rings originated in
Medieval Europe during the middle ages although some go back as far as
5 BC. Since
French,
Latin
and
English were the languages of the Nobility, many Posey Rings had
inscriptions in these languages. Although, many have been excavated
from other areas of the globe including the
Gaelic
regions,
Spain,
Russia,
Germany,
Greece,
China,
and
Italy.
Christian,
Hebrew
and today's modern renditions are also very popular. |
