Purpose and Meaning
of the
Bahá'í Ringstone Symbol

The purpose of the symbol that appears on Bahá'í ringstones and other Bahá'í identity jewelry is a visual reminder of God's purposes for man, and for Bahá'ís in particular. Bahá'í identity jewelry often is a conversation starter about the Faith and may be considered a teaching and proclamation aid.

What it Means

The three levels of the design represent:

The world of God, the Creator

the world of His Manifestations

and the world of man

The vertical line joins the three horizontal bars together in the same way that the Divine Messengers of God form the link between the world of God and the world of man.

The twin five-pointed stars on either side of the design represent the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh, the twin Messengers of God for this age.

The ringstone symbol was designed by 'Abdu'l-Bahá and rendered by Mishkin-Qalam, a close companion of His and the leading calligrapher of Persia. The ringstone symbol used on Bahá'í identity jewelry by Ansar is a faithful representation of the design on the corners of the Shrine of the Báb on Mount Carmel.
