There are various songs where they exchange rings as love tokens - e.g Lovely Nancy "Come chagne your ring with me ,my dear, Come change your ring with me. That it might be a token When I am on the sea" There is also a South Wales song - a varient of the "She was Poor but she was honest" type that has a chorus "Take this ring from off my finger Take this necklace from my neck Give it to that false young lover To the one I loved the best" Will post any more i can think of when I have more time.
