What is an anniversary band?

By Sheri & Bob Stritof, About.com

Question: What is an anniversary band?

Answer: An anniversary band symbolizes the continuing love of a married couple. Anniversary bands usually have small diamonds or colored stones going around the whole ring. This is a symbol of your eternal love for one another. Usually an anniversary band's design is selected so the ring goes well with the original wedding band and engagement ring.
