Eternity Rings

An eternity ring often sits alongside an engagement and wedding ring set. So the metal and styles of these existing rings should be considered when adding to the set. Whether you are looking for a half set eternity ring or a full set style, this precious piece can work beautifully paired up or alone.

An eternity ring is typically worn on the hand, comprising a band of precious metal usually gold, white-gold or platinum. The ring is typically set with a continuous line of identically cut gemstones, even diamonds which are meant to symbolize never-ending love, usually given by a husband and wife on one of their significant wedding anniversaries.

A full or half pavé eternity ring is a setting that features small diamonds very close together, with almost no visibility of the metal prongs holding the stones in place. The word pavé comes from the French word, "to pave", and means your eternity ring is literally paved with diamonds.

An Eternity ring is usually given to a partner to commemorate a special milestone in the relationship such as a special wedding anniversary, the birth of a baby, etc. Alternatively, some people choose to stick to the traditional anniversary calendar and buy an eternity ring to mark specific years in their marriage.

The eternity ring has endured its meaning and symbolism of commitment and eternal love since 2,000 BC. Another common eternity ring meaning is that the band references the full circle of life. It was common practice to gift a wife an eternity ring after the birth of a first child. Both full and half eternity rings hold the same meaning, so the choice of which one to give is up to you.
