A virtual forest of rings!
Dear Silver Lover - This looks great! Do you have any paired rings? All Omani rings, as most Yemeni, do come in pair! Each ring type is for a certain finger and cannot be placed on another finger. I am going to look for a photo of my Omani rings (I have a few paired ones - Omani and Yemeni) and post the photo later on. With kind regards. Peter
By the way, the above are mostly rings to be worn on the index finger... Regards. Peter
Thank you for the very informative information Peter, your surely a much better writer than I am:) Correct, these are rings worn on the index finger (in Arabic its called Sababah) and amongst them you can find some which are indentical -sorry the image is not very clear to show this-. Please keep sharing with us your amazing knowledge of Omani silver and images of your treasures. Br
