Luxury Band Ring in 925 Sterling Silver

People have been wearing finger rings like forever. They have even been found in ancient tombs of Mesopotamia in modern day Iraq dating back to circa 2500 BC. Wearing rings became popular with the ever so stylish ancient Egyptians and we have been wearing them for a variety of reasons ever since then. 

Although most people wear rings to adorn themselves, a ring on your finger can mean more than decorating your hand. Rings have been associated with high status, authority, memberships in secret society or clubs and sororities and also an achievement of some sort.

In Ancient Rome, signet rings were made to sport an insignia to represent a person’s identity, to be transferred in an impression in a wax seal and was then used to seal letters or sign important documents. In the Victorian era, rings were outfitted with a small compartment in which to conceal things. In mythology, rings are often endowed with spiritual or supernatural significance.

The jewelry ring can also signify wealth and status especially if you’re lucky enough to be able to afford uber high-end jewelry brands such as Cartier, Tiffany, Chanel fine jewelry, Van Cleef and Arpels and Bulgari just to name a few.
Wearing rings also have important symbolic functions and have been intertwined with human emotions and desires especially in relation to relationships such as friendships, engagement, and marriage.
In the early stages of an intimate relationship, a couple might exchange promise rings to show each other they care.

ETERNITY RINGS

The eternity ring style is a popular choice in exchanging commitment with one another. There are two main eternity ring designs that people usually pick from depending on their finances. Eternity rings can also be given on a wedding anniversary to represent the past, present, and future.

A half eternity ring has diamonds or gemstones stones around about half of the front of the band. The back section of the ring doesn’t contain any and is usually plain and devoid of any diamonds or gemstones. The band can either be uniform in width or it can be tapered towards the back. They are more affordable as they have fewer stones than a full eternity band as they don’t have any stones on the back of the band. This feature also makes it easier for jewelers to resize the ring if need be.

                               
A full eternity ring is considered as the perfect eternity ring as the diamonds surround the entire outside band of the ring. This style is usually more expensive as the ring settings usually feature more diamonds or gemstones. The rings feature usually channel set stones. The benefit of a full eternity ring is every side of the ring is the same and the extra diamonds adds that extra touch of luxury and sparkle. Usually, eternity rings come in white gold but they can be sterling silver, gold, rose gold or platinum, it all depends on one’s budget.

ENGAGEMENT RINGS

The solitaire ring is a popular style of engagement ring. The solitaire setting usually features a single round brilliant cut stone. You can also go for a center diamond set with smaller diamonds side stones on the shoulder of the ring or you can be a bit different and go with an emerald cut stone engagement ring. It is really up to individual style and taste.

The round halo ring style has also been consistently popular as an engagement ring choice for the last decade making it a timeless classic. Wedding rings tend to be plainer and are usually a plain band with minimal stone features. They usually sit under the engagement ring.
