The history of chevalier rings.<\/p>\n
Man has always felt the strong need for an iconographic association between himself and an object, an idea or a simple dream. It is something so strong that one only has to look around to realise how much coats of arms - today referred to as logos - are part of our lives.<\/p>\n
Historically, the origin of the ring chevalier <\/a>stems from the need for personal certification. In fact, going way back in history and precisely in theancient Egypt<\/strong><\/b> at the time of the Pharaohs<\/strong><\/b>we find out who first wore a ring chevalier<\/strong><\/b>as a symbol of belonging to high society and consequently a symbol of power.<\/p>\n But this particular ring obtains its true meaning as an emblem and expression of power in the middle ages<\/strong><\/b>where those belonging to a lineage could proudly display their signet ring<\/strong><\/b> as a symbol of importance, power and family background.<\/p>\n Moreover, another purpose of the ring chevalier<\/a> was to validate important documents with their own family crest, imprinting it in hot sealing wax and thus imposing a sort of signature that was always recognisable and unmistakable.<\/p>\n Thus the name 'seal<\/strong><\/b>\"given to the house ring.<\/p>\n Today, the chevalier ring is used as an emblem of personal style and continues to communicate a sense of belonging and freedom of expression.<\/p>\n
