Definition
A small ring, especially one used as a decorative or heraldic element in architecture and design.
Etymology
From Old French 'annelet,' a diminutive form of 'annel,' derived from Latin 'annulus' (ring). The suffix '-et' indicates a smaller version of the root object.
Kelly Says
Medieval heralds used annulets to tell family stories: they stacked them like badges of honor, and you can still see them decorating castle stonework where they symbolized promises and alliances between noble families.
