Zihgir — Ottoman Archer's Rings

The zihgir is the thumb ring an Ottoman archer wore to draw the bowstring — a piece of equipment that became a mark of rank and, eventually, jewelry. Its broad, swept shape is unlike any other ring, and Turkish silversmiths still make it. Worn today as a men's statement ring with a real history behind it.
