Also called as jihwan, the rings symbolize the unity of a man and a woman, or husband and wife. If a woman is widowed, she would put one ring onto the body of her husband, and the other on her jacket tie. These silver rings are decorated with the seven trasures(gold, silber, lapis, crystal, coral, agate, and pearl) and have bat and flower designs that symbolize prosperity and fortune.
