Iron ring

 

Iron ring


The Iron Ring is a symbolic ring worn by Canadian engineerss. The Ring is given as part of "The Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer" [1], written by Rudyard Kipling. Legend has it that the rings were made from the steel of a collapsed bridge near Quebec City. Although this is not true [1], the Ring is a symbol of both pride and humility for the engineering profession. The ring is worn on the little finger of the working hand. It comes in iron and stainless steel versions.
