An eternity
ring is something that signifies a strong bond - may it be for
friendship or an intimate relationship. It is some sort of a ritual
that has been present roughly four thousand years ago. Ancient
Egyptians are the forerunners of this tradition. Just as we see it, a
ring is made of a piece of metal and then connected end to end to
make a circle. This symbolizes a continuous and unbreakable pact.
Some people embed stones and jewels to decorate the eternity
ring.
In the early
times, rings are given to people whom you feel bound to by love or by
friendship. It signifies an endless love to someone close to your
heart. This is not so much different from the current situation.
People still give rings to
those that they hold dear.
Certain events
in our lives need to be remembered with a memento. For instance, the
graduation day is also the last day that you would see your friends.
You eventually need to part ways and carry on with your personal
lives. Exchanging eternity rings is a sign that even if they do not
see each other again, their friendship would still carry on.
Another
occasion where giving an eternity ring is important would be during a
proposal for marriage. Engagements
rings are something that women are really proud of. Usually, men
are the givers of the rings, while women are the recipients.
Specifically, it is because men are the ones asking for the hand of
women for marriage. However, women also have the option to give their
men a ring as a gift, being engaged and all.
Parents and
children exchange eternity rings
whenever there is a need for a member of the family to go somewhere
else, like going abroad perhaps. These are instances when they won't
be able to see each other a long time. Although the bond between
parent and child is not easily broken, the exchange of rings enhances
this attachment.
And who can
forget the most popular occasion when two people of the opposite sex
exchange rings? There is no other occasion that the eternity ring
becomes more important than anything else but the wedding. Rings
enhance the vows made by the couple for each other: to eternally love
and serve each other forever.
Rings can be
made of different material such as silver, bronze and gold.
It can even be made by the combination of these three. To further
beautify it, precious stones such as diamond, ruby, opal and a lot
more are added on it. The more precious the stone is, the more
expensive is the ring. And yet, it does not matter whatever the ring
is made of. The important thing is the thought and the intention that
goes with gifting the eternity
ring.
