The christening ring is part of a very old custom used in the baptism of a Christian. The person being baptized usually receives the christening ring from his godparents. Parents or grandparents also often pass on the baptism ring to the new member in the circle of Christians. A christening ring is usually made of 8 carat gold or sterling silver. Often crosses or angel pictures are additionally attached to this ring over an eyelet. The christening ring is worn during the ceremony on a chain, which is also known as the christening necklace. A christening ring is a lasting testimony to a special experience and can be a companion throughout life. It is no coincidence that it is precisely a ring and that no other piece of jewellery documents the baptism. The ring is the symbol of the infinity of faith and the cycle of life. For its owner, a christening ring is a document of the first sacrament received, which also has a certain material value as a high-quality piece of jewellery.
