Eternity rings: a symbol of everlasting love
When we talk of eternity rings, we are mostly referring to the rings that are exchanged by people who are close and that want a sign to signify their friendship. These are rings that have sentimental value to the two people that are exchanging them. This is not new. Rings have been part of human interaction for as long as we can remember. They can be made of anything from fine gold, to diamond, to steel and also other precious
stones. There is really no limit to the material that can be used to create an eternity ring because its significance is all that matters. There is also a general consensus that the deeper the relationship, the more people seem to invest in the ring although there are obvious exceptions to this rule. There are different occasions in which eternity
rings are exchanged and we shall now examine them.
The most sentimental of these occasions is a wedding. There is perhaps no other time that rings mean something more than at a wedding ceremony. During a wedding, expensive rings are exchanged. It has been mostly the custom of ring exchanges to have the man give a ring to a woman that he loves but when it comes to a wedding both the man and the woman exchange rings. In a wedding arrangement, the man provides the ring to the woman and the woman's family buys the ring
for the groom. This is an acceptable way of exchanging eternity
rings.
Another occasion when eternity rings are exchanged is during an engagement.
This is the time that precedes a wedding. When a man and a woman fall in love, the next step if they have made up their minds to get married is to become engaged. This is an occasion where the two commit to each other and start working toward a wedding.
During this occasion which is usually very memorable, the man "proposes" to the woman usually in a gesture where he kneels down and offers a ring to the woman of his love. This ring is usually expensive although as we said, the intentions are what matters.
An eternity ring is tradionally worn above or in between the engagement ring and wedding band on your left ring finger.
While the full eternity ring with diamonds encircling the entire band to represent your everlasting love is traditional, but they tend to cost more than the half eternity ring due to the additional stones. They are also extremely difficult to resize so are usually made to order.
De Beers came up with the concept of eternity rings in the 1960s aimed at older, married women and sold under the slogan "She married you for richer or poorer. These days, though, there are no hard and fast rules as to when to buy an eternity ring.
