Men's Ornamentation
ORNAMENTATION
As a rule, Jewish men did not indulge in extravagances of dress, and there was little ornamentation among them. They often carried a cane or
staff, which would be ornamented at the top, but it served the useful purpose of protecting them from half-wild dogs that abounded in the country, and was not much of an ornament. Certain men wore a ring on their right hand or, suspended by a cord or chain around the neck.
Actually this was the
signet ring or seal, and served as the personal signature of its owner, and so was not usually worn as an ornament. (For Scriptural examples of the ring, see Genesis 38:18; Song of Solomon 8:6; Luke 15:22, etc.)
