SCRIPTURE

"the rings, and the nose-jewels;" — Isaiah 3:21 (ASV)

The rings, and nose jewels. —The first word points to the signet ring, worn both by men and women of wealth (Exodus 35:22; Numbers 31:50; Esther 3:12; Esther 8:8; Jeremiah 22:24); the latter to the ornaments worn pendent from the nostrils as by modern Arabian women (Genesis 24:22).
