Silver Pendants

with Artwork, Symbols, Quoatations, & more
In
the 16th and 17th centuries in England, France and throughout Europe,
a wedding band would be inscribed with words of love, faith and
hope. The popularity of these "poesy" rings (from
the latin word for "Poetry") is attested to by their frequent
mention in Shakespeare's plays. The tradition is much older than
Shakespeare's time, but its was during the Renaissance that the
custom reached the height of its popularity. It was common to give
a sterling silver ring as a gift or engagement ring.
Now
we offer these messages engraved on sterling silver pendants as
a unique romantic gift or token of friendship.
