That’s the best image I have seen, thanks for posting it, quite obviously there’s no symbol, it’s an african elephant hair-ring made in gold, and what are supposed to be symbols are nothing but loops.

Just because he’s been wearing it since his youth on the finger one normally wears a wedding ring, doesn’t make it a wedding ring. There’s nothing normal about zero.

Corsi’s gone off the deep end; pushing the Gilbert propaganda as well. Corsi cannot be trusted at all anymore. WND should know better.

I was surprised to see the high resolution ring photo, but I should know better since it's WND.

Male wedding rings are a recent invention as well, before the 1940s, less than 20% of weddings in the US were double-ring. After the jewelry industry got together and pushed the idea for a double-ring ceremony, that went up to 80%+.

If you look at my parents' generation (WWII), my dad never had a wedding ring, and my mother had a simple band for many years. Even people of my generation, a lot of the men don't have them.

I had an uncle who was a jeweler, he had quite a few interesting stories concerning the industry (especially the diamond producers) and how they convinced Americans and Europeans of the need for for rings or diamond/engagement rings, etc. The industry did a good job of fooling us into buying fancy rings, that's for sure.
