Ring Superstitions (MYSTERIOUS significance has)

A MYSTERIOUS significance has been associated with rings from the earliest periods, among various nations. They were supposed to protect from evil fascinations of every kind, against the 'evil eye,' the influence of demons, and dangers of every possible character; though it was not simply in the rings themselves that the supposed virtues existed, but in the materials of which they were composed, in some particular precious stone that was set in them, as charms or talismans, in some device or inscription on the stone, or some magical letters engraven on the circumference of the ring.
