On the second attempt, she again tripped the alarm and was ordered to raise her hands for a body sweep. There was a shaking of heads and a smirk on the guards' face. This young woman was pierced through with rings and chains all over her body. She was led off presumably to be stripped searched as I carefully removed my pocket watch and coinage and passed through the security station unmolested. While I was mildly amused, still I was grateful that I wasn't required to remove my ever-present wedding ring.

The man took a golden nose ring weighing half a shekel, and two bracelets for her wrists weighing ten shekels of gold. These were given to a young woman named Rebekah as a wedding proposal. Rings were used in connection to marriage from the earliest recorded human history as symbols of the mystical joining and union of men and women. But rings carry more than mere sentimentality.
