Not only has jewelry been a status symbol for man it has been the main source of economic progress. In India, the value of gold is associated with the fate of the bride to be. The more gold a bride`s father has the better are the prospects of getting the daughter married to a good groom.

In the olden days gold was the valid alternative to currency. During the barter system things were exchanged with gold. Gold then was available in large quantities and the mining costs were not that great. In the East both men and women wore ornaments.

Gold definitely has a therapeutic effect. It is used for the treatment of Tuberculosis. This is why gold jewelry was worn by people to enable them to breathe in the purified air. Nose studs especially in India, is specifically worn by ladies even today to inhale healthy air.

The Cro Magnons who came before the Homo sapiens, made the first jewelry ever about forty thousand years back. With no machines or scientific knowledge they made the ornaments out of stones, wood and bones of animals. A few centuries later natural flowers became the jewelry items for women. In fact even to day women wear ornaments made only out of flowers for their wedding.

The jewelry at the initial stages was well crafted and was strung with the help of the hair from the animals. The horse tail was a useful means of fastening the fragments of jewelry to give it a shape. Excavations show that the clasps made of animal bones were used to hold pieces of clothing together. Of course we can we forget the mammoth that walked the surface of the earth. The tusks then too were an important material for jewelry.

Jewelry took on a more polished form about five thousand years back. It was the Egyptians who molded the lustrous gold into various shapes of adornment. The Pharaohs wore gold jewelry extensively because it was easily available there. Not just gold but precious gems were also embedded into the ornaments. The Red sea was the endless source of precious stones of various colors. The king`s scepter and the head gear too were made of a combination of the metal and the gems. The designs were rather straight and lined. This was a contrast to the ornaments that the Mesopotamians wore. They had a fascination for natural designs like vines, creepers and leaves.

Since you can now get sterling silver rings with just about any special adornment, it seems to make sense to be able to take care of your gift list across the board. They make excellent accessories no matter what your gift target is into. If they are young and hip, there are rings that scream for their attention. If they are into goth and the depths of the darker world, there are dragon rings and whatnot that are perfect for them. Of course, if sports are the key for the day, there are rings that blend style and sophistication while making a statement.

Making a statement, so to speak, is the essential element in picking out the right ring for the right person. Without a statement, a piece of jewelry is just a piece of jewelry. Fortunately, we all see statements in different designs. This means that you are most definitely able to find statements for anyone.

What really works about giving sterling silver rings as gifts is their universal appeal. Everyone can adorn their fingers in order to stand out and make an expressive statement just by slipping on a ring. It’s more than just a fashion accessory. It’s an emotional attachment to someone or something that can really help your gift recipient express oneself.
