Eternity Rings and Bands Symbolize Love and Commitment
Wedding Rings, the Symbol of Love
Symbols of our Love and Commitment
A romantic way to express your everlasting love for your wife or husband is to give an eternity ring or band on a wedding anniversary, the birth of your first child, or an other special occasion. An eternity ring is usually a plain 18 ct band with diamonds on the outer face (known as a half eternity) or going around the full circumference of the ring (a full eternity). Although your first impulse might be to go for the full eternity, there is a practical factor to consider, besides the greater expense. When there are diamonds around the whole ring, you can’t resize it should your mate’s ring size change over the years. A romantic advantage to a half eternity is that , on special occasions you can add more precious stones.
An eternity ring that is custom designed can be rich with personal meaning. You can choose gems such as colored diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and sapphires and different cuts for the stones that adorn the ring. Certain gems have traditional meanings. For example, a red garnet can signify the second year of marriage. You can also assign your own personal symbolism to your gem selection. For example, the gems could be your family birthstones.
