New York, NY, June 10, 2009 --(
PR.com)-- The tradition of the eternity bands dates back as far as 2000 BC to the ancient Egyptians. Its history is closely related to that of the wedding ring — a circle of metal with no beginning and no end — the perfect symbol of everlasting love. What could be more romantic than a symbol of love with no end?
An eternity ring is usually given at a significant anniversary. Many men present their wife with an eternity ring to celebrate the first year of their marriage or the birth of a first child.
The eternity ring is often worn on the third finger of the left hand, the same finger as the engagement and wedding ring. Egyptians in ancient times believed that this finger contained the "vena amoris" — the vein of love, that directly runs to the heart.
Eternity rings are stone set, often with diamonds. Some people prefer ‘half eternity’ rings for practical purposes – ‘full eternity’ rings cannot be easily adjusted. Full Eternity Bands can also be uncomfortable to wear because of the depth of the shank between the fingers.
RITANI has reported that Eternity Bands have truly made a comeback in recent times and furthermore having sales skyrocket in this area. RITANI is a world renowned designer and manufacturer of Engagement Rings.
