Ring Holder Round Up We took a look at the two main types containers for rings, box/jar and spindle One may note how many of them utilize certain elements that allude to their special contents However, it is the idea of the ring itself that lends to these containers therie true special meaning. Rings are highly symbolic objects. Wedding and engagement rings speak of promises and love. Graduation rings attest to accomplishments. Signature rings may directly correspond to identity. There are rings worn to display power, wealth, and beauty. So as these containers are meant to hold rings, so are they imbibed with the rings rich symbology. As we have seen before, the art object (ring holder) derives its special meaning from something outside of itself.. 10:42:12 PM
