  • Wonderful rings. Peter. And new information for me: I didn't know that Omani rings came in pairs. Does that mean a one pair of rings, would be worn on the same finger of the left and right hand respectively?

    Thanks a lot and kind regards, Betty

  • Dear Betty; Yes, for example a pair of thumb rings would be worn on each hand's thumb and so on... With kind regards. Peter

  • That's very interesting
  • This is a wonderful photo of Omani rings Peter! I love it... I would like to add the below two styles, one with gold wash and the other is an interesting hexagon shape.Br
