摘　　要：考古证明戒指早在原始社会就已出现。"戒指"的称法至早在明代才出现,另有指环、约指、代指、手记、驱环等不同称法。古代戒指可以戴在手指上,也可系在衣带上。戒指的制作材料有青铜、骨、金、银、铜、金刚石、白玉、琥珀、宝石、翡翠、水晶等。戒指可作为财物、礼物,也可作为男女定情信物,有回还、归家之意,也有约束、节制之意。Archaeological proofs indicate convincingly that ring had already appeared as early as in primitive society, however, the appellation ＂Rings＂ did not appeared until the Ming Dynasty, has a series of different names in Chinese, such as Zhihuan, Yuezhi, Daizhi, Shouji, Quhuan and so on. In ancient time, rings can be worn on the finger and/or decorate clothes. The various material for rings includes bronze, animal bones, gold, silver, copper, diamond, white jade, amber, emerald, crystal stone and so on. Rings play a significant role in social life, function as gifts, property, and a token of lover, the symbol of return and reunion on the one hand and serf-discipline and moderation on the other hand.
