It was and presently is much hyped only to encourage the jewelry trade. From pre-engagement ring to wedding ring everything is being added in this list of gift. Actually this jewelry business seeks to expand the idea of a series of ring-gifts with the pre-engagement ring, often given when serious courting begins, and the eternity ring, which symbolizes the renewal or ongoing nature of a lasting marriage, sometimes given after the birth of a first child; and a trilogy ring, usually displaying three brilliant-cut round diamonds each, in turn, representing the past, present and future of a relationship.
