Stewart, Tabori & Chang, NY, 2004,  hardcover,  illustrated, 140 pages, 17.43 xms x 17.2 cms, condition: as new.
A lavishly illustrated history of wedding ring traditions documents their first known uses in ancient Egypt through the incorporation of various metals and stones, in a volume that includes photographs of both vintage and modern designs.
I expected this to be just another coffee table book, but was remarkably engrossed by the well written history of wedding bands in here. Some of the more interesting trivia bits include curious info about inscription customs of the nineteenth century--'The promise of eternal connection was often spelled out in the...ring itself, as the gems were arranged by the first letters fo their names: ruby, emerald, garnet, amethyst, ruby, and diamond for REGARD; lapis, opal, vermeil, and emerald for LOVE.' I also liked the anecdote about Jackie Kennedy leaving her ring in JFK's coffin, then regretting it, ('Now I have nothing left') and getting her good friend Ken O'Donnell to retrieve it. And apparently, 95% platinum rings are hypoallergenic.
