What are Eternity Rings?
Eternity rings dates back to 2000 BC to the ancient Egyptians. Its history is related to that of a wedding ring – a circle of metal with no beginning and no end – the perfect symbol of everlasting love. This ring is put in the third finger of the left hand because Ancient Egyptians believed that this finger contained the “vena amoris” – the vein of love that runs directly to the heart.
Eternity rings can be given as wedding rings, anniversary rings, special occasion rings or just as a random loving gift. When giving an eternity ring, the theme is to communicate to the recipient that they are special. That is why many people invest quite a significant amount of money in rings. These rings can come in gold, diamond, silver and precious stones such as sapphire, rubies and ivory. The common feature of Eternity rings is that they are stone set, often with diamonds. A full eternity ring is one where the stones are set completely around the shank. A half eternity ring also has the stones set partially around the shank. A full eternity ring costs 2 to 3 times the price of a similar half eternity, because there are more diamonds in it. Eternity rings, which are meant as wedding rings are also worn on the ring finger which is normally the third finger of the left hand.
Eternity rings are most commonly set with diamonds. Other stones such as emeralds,rubies and sapphires are also popular choices, but diamonds are the undisputed favorite. Traditionally the best time to buy an eternity ring was on the birth of a couple’s first child and some believe also after seven years of marriage. Eternity rings are used to symbolize various moments in their lives. There was a man who choose eternity ring for his wife on their fiftieth anniversary. He wrote a poem describing what each stone meant. One was the first time he saw her, the second for the first kiss, then for the marriage, then for the beautiful children that she gave him, for their first home, all the hard times that they faced together, and so on. Diamond three stone ring also known as the diamond trilogy ring, is a popular alternative to the traditional eternity ring. With a diamond to represent your past, a diamond to represent your present and a diamond to represent your future, a three stone ring encapsulates the romance of your relationship perfectly.
