Rings are round bands worn around the finger as a type of ornamental jewelry. Rings can be made of metal, plastic, wood, bone, glass and gemstones. Gemstones can be set on the ring to make it as beautiful and elegant as it can be. They can be precious or semi-precious. An example of a semi-precious stone is the lapis lazuli.
The lapis lazuli was first mined in a province in Afghanistan. Later traded on to neighboring countries that is why it can be acquired anywhere now. It has an intense blue color with small flecks of golden pyrite. Lapis rings are often worn as in the olden days, they were believed to be a powerful aphrodisiac. They were also believed to keep the limbs healthy and free the soul from sin, envy and fear.
