About The Types of Rings


Ring have been used by humans as jewellery or thousands of years. They were used a lot during the Egyptian empire. There are many different types of rings and sometimes these rings have a special meaning. After winning a certain series or after an accomplishment athletes are given a special ring. These rings are not simple meant to be pieces of jewellery they are a sign of victory. Wedding rings are a symbol or holy matrimony. When someone is wearing a wedding ring it is a clear indication that they are married. These days there are a number of different wedding rings available in the market.

Rings were mostly made from gold. Even today a lot of rings are made from the precious metal. A lot of people however are choosing to get rings made from white gold or platinum as the colour of such rings is considered to be more stylish. Platinum wedding rings are extremely popular. Platinum is more expensive then gold because the metal is extremely rare. The metal does not rust and will not lose its shine. It is not easy to scratch the metal or dent it and so you can be sure that your wedding ring will not get damaged. The metal works well for people with sensitive skin as most people do not have any reaction to platinum.


Slowly and steadily platinum rings are also gaining popularity. Titanium is a strong and light metal. These rings look very stylish and cool. They are not the conventional choice for wedding rings but the appeal for titanium rings lies in the fact that not many people own and use such rings. When compared to platinum titanium rings are more affordable. If you want to do something different but platinum rings are out of your budget then you should think about getting titanium rings.

Eternity rings are exchanged on a special anniversary. They are the perfect gift for a 25th or 30th anniversary. The eternity rings have a row of diamonds that goes all around the band of the ring which is generally made from white gold, gold or platinum. These rings look very beautiful and are a great gift option. Eternity rings are meant to be a symbol of eternal love. When DeBeers first launched these rings the advertising campaign had the tag line, “You Married Her For Richer or For Poorer, Let Her Know How Its Going.”
