Engagement rings are usually bands of precious metal with a solitary gemstone set in the center. In a traditional context, the center gemstone is almost always a diamond.

Some engagement rings accompany the center gemstone with smaller inlays or ornaments.

Usually only ladies wear engagement rings, but this does not mean that a man cannot wear one if he wishes.

2. Wedding ring

The next ring the couple shares is the wedding ring. They are received during a ceremony at the altar, as a symbol that the couple has sworn to each other and have begun their "together forever".

If traditional protocol has been followed, wedding bands will always come first before engagement rings. They are symbols of love that are generally worn closer to the heart.

3. Eternity Ring

Eternity rings are beautiful commemorative bands that are usually given as a gift during the celebration of the first anniversary, the tenth or even any other special moment in which the desire to express the strength and commitment of your love is latent.
