In modern culture, it is not uncommon to see women who wear not only a wedding ring or engagement ring on their finger, but also an anniversary ring or eternity ring. Anniversary rings are given by husbands to their wives to commemorate a special date, which may vary between couples.

Anniversary rings: A brief explanation

Where a ring is given to mark some special occasion in someone’s life, it may be called an anniversary ring. These rings usually conform to one of a few select styles that are typically used for this purpose. Some choose styles that incorporate three stones across the top of the ring. A popular choice is to have a basic band that corresponds in style to the wedding band and engagement ring, with a series of diamonds or or other precious stones decorating the top. Others go for the slightly more expensive eternity ring, which is has gems all the way around.

Couples have the freedom to choose whether they would like diamonds, or another kind of gem set into the ring. Many choose diamonds to correspond to their engagement or wedding ring. Others prefer to use birthstones that relate to treasured memories, such as the month in which they tied the knot, or birthdays of the couple or their children.

When are they usually given?

There isn’t a set time or reason for giving an anniversary ring. It might be given on the first anniversary of a couple’s wedding, or the 23rd anniversary. Usually the cost of these rings means that couples tend to buy them only on very special anniversaries, such as 10th, 20th, 25th or 50th. Other occasions which might be celebrated with an anniversary ring include the day of the couple’s first kiss, the day of their engagement, a time when they experienced a breakthrough in their marriage, or their first child’s birth.

How are they worn?

There are no rules as to which finger a woman should wear her anniversary ring on. In the end it comes down to personal preference. Some may choose to wear it with their engagement ring and wedding band, on their left hand. Or, if the anniversary ring is a lot more showy than the other rings, they may choose to place it on their right hand to create some balance. The original wedding set may be completely replaced if it is old and worn, or if it is going to be kept as a family heirloom.

Precautions to take in the care of your anniversary ring:

It is important to look after the ring to keep in good condition, and there are a few steps you can take to ensure this. Take the ring off when cleaning the house or doing any activity that might cause it to become scratched, worn or exposed to harsh chemicals. Keep it in a safe place away from other jewelry, and clean it every now and then with a soft cloth and a gentle cleanser.
