Rings

Rings are powerfully evocative pieces of jewellery, traditionally worn as symbols of love, loyalty, remembrance or faith.

Based on 170 examples of rings from the V&A collection, this book tells the story of their evolution, from the sculptural gem-set rings worn in medieval times to the masterpieces of Art Deco, from the spectacular gemstone 'rocks' of the 1950s to the innovative works of art created by contemporary jewellers.
