A ring is just a piece of jewellery you wear on your fingers, right? Well, yes — but there are lots of different styles of rings. Once you’ve read this post, you’ll know what they are and what they symbolise!
Eternity Ring
An eternity ring, also known as an infinity ring, is typically worn by women to symbolise continuous love. They are often gifted as a sign of commitment before engagement, or as special anniversary gifts. Eternity rings are also sometimes given to new parents, symbolising the circle of life.
In terms of style, they generally have gemstones set around the entire outer band.
Half-Eternity Ring
Half-eternity rings have gemstones set around just half of the outer band. While they look different from full eternity rings, they carry the same symbolic meaning.
Midi Ring
Midi rings are worn on the finger above the lower knuckle and are a favourite for creating a heavily styled, layered look. Often seen on red carpets and worn by celebrities, they’re commonly paired with stacking rings for a full-hand jewellery style.
Russian Ring
Russian rings are traditionally used as wedding rings. They consist of three interlocking bands — usually one each of yellow gold, rose gold, and white gold. For many, these represent the Holy Trinity. For others, they symbolise a couple’s past, present, and future.
Signet Ring
Signet rings are often heirlooms passed down through generations, or used to represent clubs, institutions, or personal identity. They typically feature a large face which can be engraved with initials, monograms, or crests.
Stacking Ring
Stacking rings are designed to be layered — either on the same finger or across multiple fingers. Their thinner bands make them comfortable to wear in multiples, and they’re great for mixing metals and textures.
There’s no one way to style them — it’s all about personal preference and creating your own look.
Toe Ring
Yes, we’re including toe rings! These are worn (unsurprisingly) on your toe — usually the second toe — and are typically adjustable. As a bonus, they can often double as midi rings too!
