As early as17th century, Europeans, inspired by setting jewels in crowns, began to set jewels in wedding rings. Ring inlay is very common today, but in the past, it was the patent of the privileged class and ordinary people were not allowed to wear it. In the era of Henry II in England, many dignitaries carved each other's portraits on rings and gave them to each other to enhance friendship. /kloc-in the 0/8th century, Europeans liked to carve portraits with chalcedony as warning faces. In the 20th century, when "decorative art" was popular in continental Europe, more attention was paid to the design of the ring face and the overall style of the ring. Nowadays, rings inlaid with diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphires, tourmalines and emeralds can be seen everywhere in the jewelry market.

Later, they used gold or low-grade gems to cast or carve reliefs, usually with the Greek word "omonia" on it, which means harmony. This custom and the symbol of mutual trust regained people's attention in the 20th century. In France, the ring stands for "bonnefoi"; In Italy, the word "fede" is used instead of a ring. This custom continued for the next 700 years. Later, the patterns on some rings were twisted steel cables, braided or concentric knots, symbolizing the firmness of marriage and the inseparability of men and women. Europeans believe that rings can connect two people who love each other. At that time, the most typical ring was a couple standing in relief together, facing Christ and receiving blessings. At that time, the wedding ring had a strong religious flavor, and the ring occupied a very important position in the wedding ceremony. Influenced by western customs, when young men and women in China are in love or get married, the custom that the man gives the woman a ring or the elder gives the younger generation a ring has been circulating among the people.
