Not Wagner, but a natural history of an apparently modest circle of metal which is part ornament, part symbol: some wear rings as a mark of authority, some for decoration, some as a token of love. But does your ring have a story to tell? Or has It a secret magical power you are not aware of? Could it be a cure for a headache, or even a passport to the Otherworld?
Ron Alldridge sifts through literature and legend, and takes a trip around the sometimes surprising history of this most extraordinary piece of jewellery.
