The origins of the architectural rings

The first architectural rings were discovered during the Merovingian age (500 to 752 AD). Architectural Rings were mostly found in Northern Gaul in tombs of high-ranking Merovingian women. They were called «ring of faith».
Early Jewish wedding rings were also found during the XVIth and XVIIth centuries. They were decorated with a small edifice that symbolized both the couple’s new house and the destroyed Jerusalem temple.
