Old testament story from Bible _Rebekah wife of Issac used to wear golden nose ring..Genesis 24:22, Abraham requests his servant to find a partner for his son Isaac; the servant found Rebekah; among the gifts he gave her was a golden nose ring. It was stated, that Shanf in colloquial word in Hebrew said to refer the “Nose Ring”!
“When the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold nose ring weighing a beka and two gold bracelets weighing ten shekels….”
Interesting to know the Nose ring was a girls ornament in those days too…
