Did you know that engagement rings first originated in 1215, when the Pope established a waiting period between the time of promise to marry and the actual ceremony? Back then marriage was more like a business deal. Luckily it is not so today.
An engagement is a meaningful event.
The engagement ring serves more than just to seal the deal. It carries with it the love, vision, trust and ideals you treasure and share with your partner and the hope that these will last for a lifetime. Let's face it, no relationship is perfect, but if both parties will stick to those visions and the promise, they will find solutions to their problems. The engagement ring will stand there as a gentle reminder and so it helps to overcome the hardships.
What an engagement ring represents is very special and the ring you choose should be just as magnificient to show that you are genuine. For example a graceful 14k White Gold Three Stone Diamond Trilogy Engagement Ring 3/8 ct Marquise-cut Diamond Engagement Ring in 14K White Gold is a great choice

A wedding ring is not only a band made of metal whether it be gold, white gold, or platinum indicating that one is married. It is not like any other ring that you would wear only with certain clothes or at certain occasions. A wedding ring has a special meaning. You may not believe in the power of wedding rings, until you find your special one, with whom you want to live, and get married. Then it takes on a whole new meaning.
Did you know that the first people to use a wedding ring where the people that thrived along the fertile flood plains of the River Nile. They were the first people to form this type of token of commitment. They used to twist and braid grasses and reeds from the riverbanks into symbolic finger rings. Later the Romans preferred iron, as they believed this strong material reflected the strength of their unions.
Different types of metal and design have been in and out of fashion since then but the purpose has remained the same: signifying an unending union, hence the shape being an unending circle.
Imagine that each morning when you look at your wedding ring, you are reminded of the choice you made to live life in unison with your partner. So choosing your wedding ring is a very personal and lasting decision just like your marriage. Don't water it down with a cheap stainless steel or tungsten ring. A 6mm Wide Wedding Band in 14k White or Yellow Gold is much more valuable and is a true reflection of the importance of your union.
An eternity ring is a band of precious metal set with a continuous line of gemstones symbolizing never-ending love. The husband gives it to his wife on a significant wedding anniversary or at the birth of a child. Eternity rings existed already in the 18th century. I think it is a nice custom even if not all husbands follow it, in which case it's the ladies' job to remind them.
A 14k White Gold Diamond Eternity Ring is gorgeous, but one I like the best is with sapphires and diamonds.
A white gold birthstone ring is the perfect present for that special someone. It will keep its value and will not become technologically obsolete. It will always remind him or her of you, the one who gave them this special gift. So why buy something else?
