Love Rings: From Ancient Egypt To The 19th Century, Solah Hwang Jan 2017

Love Rings: From Ancient Egypt To The 19th Century, Solah Hwang

MA Projects

This curatorial proposal accounts for an exhibition on the history of love rings from the ancient Egyptian period to the 19th century. It began with the belief that the void space in circlet objects carries more than what it seems; despite the small size, its symbolic power is evidently weighty. This proposal was compiled with hope to interest people in antique rings for not only their exterior value but also for their historical significance that the rings survived to carry through the course of histories.
