Eternity Rings prove to be the perfect gift to celebrate any occasion

History of the Eternity Ring

The meaning of the eternity ring has a long standing connection with love and unity just like the wedding ring. It’s a practical ring that is usually made of yellow gold, white gold, or platinum and it usually features gemstones like diamonds that either completely encompass the full circle of the ring, or cover only half of the ring. The best part about eternity rings is that they make perfect gifts for many different special occasions that take place in one’s lifetime. Many married couples like to exchange eternity rings as a gift for their first wedding anniversary. Other couples like to view the birth of their first born child as the ideal time for the husband to give his wife a beautiful eternity ring.

Eternity Rings and Wedding Rings

Another time that couples consider exchanging eternity rings would be using them instead of traditional wedding rings or to wear eternity rings along with their wedding bands. A diamond eternity ring can be worn with or without an engagement ring, gold wedding rings, or other rings on the third finger on your left hand. The choice is generally left up to the individual as to whether or not they want to wear an eternity ring with their wedding ring or with an engagement ring.

The order of the rings is also left up to one’s personal preference, as there is no right or wrong way to wear an eternity ring. Eternity rings have also grown in popularity over the years as far as anniversary rings are concerned. Many couples are choosing to wear their eternity rings on the right hand and their wedding bands on the left hand.

Selecting the Perfect Eternity Ring

Many full circle eternity rings need to be custom made because the person’s exact ring size is needed. Once the diamonds or other gemstones are set into place, the ring probably would not be capable of being resized again. For this reason many jewellery boutiques will have a large selection of half eternity rings available for immediate purchase, but for economic reasons will only have examples of full eternity rings for clients to view.
