Throughout history, there has been many types of rings that have different meanings. Which are these rings, and what do they mean? Here they are:
Engagement rings
Some people term them as promise rings, as when you give them the engagement ring, you are promising them that you are going to marry them down the line.
Depending on your likes and preferences, you can get an engagement ring made from any metal.
When buying an engagement ring, you need to ensure that the ring is the right size for your fiancée. You also should ensure that the metal used in making the ring doesn’t cause allergic reactions in your loved one.
Wedding ring
This is the first thing that comes to most people’s minds when you mention the word ring. And this is for a good reason—wedding bands have been around for years and are not going anywhere soon.
Like an engagement ring, you can buy a wedding band of any size and type—it solely depends on your preference.
Unlike an engagement ring that gives the message that you will marry your loved one in the future, a wedding ring makes it clear that you have wedded your spouse and committed to staying with them till death do you part.
Class rings
Graduating from high school, college, university, or the military is no easy feat, so most people commemorate the day by buying and wearing a class ring.
There are many types of class rings on the market, and they often come with customizable options, including the name and initials of the wearer and the school they are graduating from.
If you have more money, you can design a custom Sergeant ring or any other ring.
When wearing a class ring, wear it with the insignia facing towards yourself before you graduate. This is to remind yourself that you still have a journey ahead.
Once you graduate, you should turn the ring around as a sort of “badge of honor” and as a way to show the rest of the world that you have succeeded in your quest.
Claddagh ring
The Claddagh ring features two hands embracing a heart, and they are meant to show hands joined in loyalty to each other.
Claddagh rings show a strong commitment to friendship, love, and loyalty, and people often exchange them with a strong bond.
What they signify depends on how you wear them. If wearing them on the right hand with the point of the heart towards the fingertips, it means you are single.
If the ring is on the right hand with the point of the heart facing the wrist, it means you are in a relationship, and if you wear the right on the left hand with the point of the heart facing the fingertips, it means you are engaged.
Finally, if the ring is on the left hand with the point of the heart towards the wrist, it means you are married.
Buy a high-quality ring.
Regardless of the type of ring you want, ensure that you buy a high-quality one. This calls for you to buy the ring from a reputable store. The ring doesn’t necessarily need to be made from precious materials, but the materials should be top quality so that you have peace of mind that the ring won’t be easily damaged.
