[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9546629, member: 2844"]I always love these band rings with gypsy set stone(s). I have never thought of them as wedding bands though. On old paintings and photographs you often see people wearing more than one of these rings. If so, they would be Russian green garnets, demantoid or grossular, which weren't so readily available in the West when this ring was made. And African tsavorites weren't yet discovered. I think your original thought of peridot makes more sense, both historically and symbolically.[/QUOTE]
