/'sιmbəl/ n. something that stands for or represents something else, especially an idea, quality, or condition.
Last night, Rachel and I went and picked up my wedding ring from the jeweller. I tried it on briefly in the shop, then had to take it off again, but I love it.
When Rachel got her engagement ring, she spent the next week looking at it, sighing, and saying, “ooh,” and “ahh.” I thought it was nice that she liked it and was happy with the design and everything, but I didn’t really understand the fascination.
Now I get it. It’s not so much that it’s a nice piece of jewellery (although that is important), but the emotions really stir at what it represents.

I can’t wait to wear it.
