Jewellry, particularly rings can be used to convey a message and as a form of symbolism. There are different types of rings that individuals can choose from. For instance, an eternity ring can convey the message of lasting love and is a good gift for an anniversary.

Jewellery is a way for individuals to make a statement and express themselves. It can be an external expression of one’s personality. For years jewellery has also been used for symbolism. Different pieces of jewellery signify different things. Crowns were worn by kings as a symbol or their power while rings have been used to show fealty, signify marriage, and express a promise. The design of rings has evolved over time. Today there are distinct types of rings that individuals can purchase from a smyckesbutik i Stockholm. Mentioned below are the various types of rings and what they signify.

Promise Ring:

A promise ring can be considered as a pre cursor to an engagement ring. These rings are usually plain or may have a small stone set in them. They are generally given as a symbol of love and commitment in a 1 to 2 year relationship. Purchasing an engagement ring can be too expensive for young couples and hence a promise ring is a good stepping stone.

Birthstone Ring:

Depending on the time of your birth there are certain precious and semi precious stones that are considered auspicious for you.

The rings themselves may be made from yellow or white gold.

Eternity Ring:

An eternity ring is generally given on a couple’s 25th or 50th anniversary. It is a symbol of lasting affection. Typically the ring is a band that has identically cut gemstones set in a line. Sometimes the stones are only set in the top half of the band. This type of design is commonly referred to as a half eternity ring.

Posie Ring:

Initially these rings were commonly used as wedding bands, today they are used more as a romantic present or gift. Gold posie rings are very popular however some people choose to get a silver ring as well.

Memorial Ring:
