Omani silver rings were made in pairs or in a specific design for each of the five fingers.
It was not customary for Bedouin women to wear a wedding authentic ring but the full set of 10 rings which might have been given at marriage.
The decorative shape of this "al shadad" (also called "shawahib") worn on the forefinger, is covered by a 18 k gold leaf and is definitely the most interesting feature of the ring itself.
As this is the finger used for pointing it is said that this will also point to God and remind the wearer of her duty to pray five times a day and to reaffirm her faith each time repeating the opening refrain: La ilaha illa Allah, Mohamed Rasool Allah (There is no God but God, and Mohamed is his Prophet).
