Genesis 24:30

וַ יְהִי כִּ רְאֹת אֶת הַ נֶּזֶם וְ אֶת הַ צְּמִדִים עַל יְדֵי אֲחֹתֹו וּ כְ שָׁמְעֹו אֶת דִּבְרֵי רִבְקָה אֲחֹתֹו לֵ אמֹר כֹּה דִבֶּר אֵלַי הָ אִישׁ וַ יָּבֹא אֶל הָ אִישׁ וְ הִנֵּה עֹמֵד עַל הַ גְּמַלִּים עַל הָ עָיִן
And he is becoming, when he is seeing אֶת-the Ring,813 and אֶת-the Bracelets upon the hands of his sister, and when he is hearing אֶת-words of Stall-Fed his sister, to say, `Thus the Man has ordered toward me.` And he is coming in toward the Man, and behold, he-who-sets-upright upon the Camels upon the Eye.

The Ring is a nose ring. Enter here the Proverb,

A ring of gold in a nostril of a swine, is a beautiful woman and her-turning-aside judgement.” Proverbs 11:22 literal.

Notice the conjunction “and” in the Proverb. The ring of gold is the beautiful woman, and she who turns aside judgment is the swine.
