Eternity rings symbolize eternal love and they are given to celebrate any special occasion, such as a wedding anniversary, a birth of a grandchild, or any other event that may represent an everlasting bond. Eternity rings are often given as promise rings, signifying a commitment to be monogamous, or to practice sexual abstinence prior to marriage. Popular among teenaged couples who are not yet ready to get married, eternity rings are given as a promise to love each other forever.
Promise Rings
April 18, 2008 By Leave a Comment
A promise ring is given to a significant other and signifies any sort of promise. It is often given to represent a commitment to a monogamous relationship prior to an engagement. Sometimes promise rings can represent a promise of sexual abstinence before marriage. These are also referred to as purity rings. Other popular promise rings may symbolize a promise of abstinence from an addictive substance. Promise rings can be worn on any finger, but it is customary, when the ring represents a promise of chastity or future engagement, to wear the ring on the left ring finger or the left middle finger, so as not to confuse it with an engagement ring. The tradition of giving promise rings dates all the way back to the second half of the sixteenth century.
