What Are The Meanings of Eternity Rings?
In fact, these rings carry deep meanings not only in their design but also in the specific stones or colors used. As you might guess, besides gold, the most commonly used stone is the diamond. This is because diamonds are incredibly durable. In ancient times, diamonds symbolized durability, loyalty, and strong friendships, which makes it no surprise that they were incorporated into these rings. In addition, diamonds were thought to represent 'I value you deeply' and even the future. For this reason, couples would often gift a diamond eternity ring to the woman at a certain point in their relationship. While poetry and writings from those times show that marriage and love were considered sacred, they also objectified this notion through symbols like the eternity ring.
Over time, married couples began giving each other this ring on their 60th wedding anniversary, and it became a tradition. Of course, some of us—maybe most of us—can’t wait that long, so the tradition faded. In certain cultures, eternity rings were also given to mothers upon the birth of their first child, but this tradition has also gradually faded.
How To Style Eternity Rings?
First and foremost, it’s important to note that eternity rings are typically wedding or engagement rings, so they should be worn on the fourth finger of the left hand. When we think of this ring as an engagement or wedding ring, it signifies that the ring will never leave your finger—that you will wear it every day. For this reason, any concerns about needing to dress differently or feeling like you must keep your style too simple when wearing an eternity ring disappear. It’s a symbol of lasting commitment, and it fits seamlessly into your daily life, complementing any outfit.
