An engagement ring is often the most treasured piece of jewelry a woman receives in her lifetime. It serves as a symbol of love, trust, and dedication. An anniversary ring, signifying continued commitment, is a wonderful gift on a significant anniversary, birthday, or other special occasion. Traditional anniversary rings come in a variety of styles. One of the most popular styles is the eternity band. This type of diamond anniversary ring has diamonds encircling either the entire band, or a portion of it, as a symbol of never-ending love. The diamonds are typically set in either a yellow gold, white gold, or platinum band. Many women choose to wear the eternity band on the same finger as their engagement ring and wedding band. Another popular style of ring is the three stone anniversary ring. This style is appropriate for an anniversary because the three stones, typically diamonds, represent the past, present, and future of the relationship. Colored diamonds or other gemstones can also be included in the setting. A three stone anniversary ring is usually worn on the ring finger of the right hand and comes in a variety of metals. Anniversary rings are cherished not only for their beauty, but also for their symbolism. In many families, anniversary rings become heirlooms, passed down as a sign of the love and commitment that has prevailed throughout the generations. Couples with children often use the birthstones of their children in three stone anniversary rings.
