What is an Eternity Band?

 

Each beautiful ring arrives elegantly boxed and beautifully presented in readiness for the perfect moment. Choose from Platinum, White Gold, Yellow Gold and Rose Gold in a wide choice of full and half set ring designs. 


We handcraft each ring to order. In addition, we provide a complete bespoke design service for that extra level of personal service.

 

An eternity band is a precious metal band set with a continuous band of gemstones. Likewise, a diamond version features a constant row of diamonds. 

A continuous repeating pattern of diamonds represents everlasting love. Most people connect this ring style with a significant anniversary. 

Sometimes the first or tenth Anniversary. For most couples, a diamond band follows in sequence. Firstly couples buy an engagement ring. Next comes the wedding ring—finally the eternity band.

 

Diamond engagement rings - mark commitment and an intention to marry.

Wedding rings - mark the union of marriage or civil partnership.

Eternity style rings - celebrate the lasting union of marriage or partnership.

 

Anniversary Rings

 

Also known as infinity ring, this ring style features a continuous row of diamonds fully set around the ring. The term full eternity ring typically applies to rings with a continuous row of diamonds around the band. 

In contrast, Anniversary rings have a plain section of metal under the finger. Alternative terms include half eternity ring design, or half set diamond eternity. 

 

History and origin

 

Traditionally, this ring type originates from DeBeers in an attempt to sell small diamonds. As a result of marketing campaigns in the 1960's global sales of diamonds increased. 

They provided an opportunity to sell to married women—moreover, couples who had already been through an engagement ring and wedding ring purchase.

Two posters advertising rings with associated slogans below. 


"She married you for richer or poorer. Let her know how it’s going." (DeBeers 1960's campaign)

"When a man actually remembers an anniversary, he ought to make it unforgettable." (DeBeers 1970's campaign)

"We never made it to the restaurant. What better way to celebrate your next anniversary. A diamond is forever." (DeBeers 1990's campaign) 

Why are they given?

 

Diamonds symbolise never-ending love. In addition, the enduring physical properties make a diamond a perfect gemstone choice. 

This sparkle, value and allure, all contribute to the precious moment. Cut into small, consistent sizes; diamonds make perfect gemstones for setting into rings. 

 

When are diamond Eternity style rings given?

 

Couples traditionally purchased diamonds to mark 60 years of marriage. For example, diamonds represent a 60th Birthday or Anniversary. 

Today, many wives receive this ring type after one year, five years or ten years of marriage. 

Some couples celebrate the birth of a child with this ring style. As a result, the new term "maternity ring" features in some circles. 

 

Which finger do you wear the ring on?

 

Tradition suggests that the ring is placed on the wedding ring finger. In the UK, this is the third finger of the left hand. In detail, the engagement ring finger. However, some people choose to wear the ring on the opposite hand. 

If the eternity band does not sit with or match the engagement ring set, this makes sense. Or, some buyers choose the other hand for a big statement diamond ring style.

Half or full eternity?

 

Half-set diamond rings differ in appearance from fully-set diamond designs.  Classic styles include a fully set band with a full surround of diamonds. 

In contrast, half-set versions leave the underside of the ring undecorated. Logically, half-set designs cost less than fully set rings. 

In addition, they allow room for a size adjustment. In contrast, fully set rings cannot be resized.

Shaped Eternity Designs

 

Shaped eternity styles fit around existing ring styles, in contrast to straight eternity bands, shaped styles custom fit. We provide a full bespoke ring service for this reason, and first, we quote for a fitted eternity band. 

Next, we design and create a CAD model. Our clients then receive detailed designs. Finally, we craft the ring, setting diamonds in any precious metal choice.

How and when to buy a diamond Eternity Band

 

We sell eternity styles throughout the year. Popularity rises in certain seasons—for example, Summer and Christmas. Choose an occasion to suit your own circumstances. 

We often provide help with choosing the best design. For example, some clients send a photograph of the engagement ring. We then match a suitable style to any existing rings. 

Or, some clients send the engagement and wedding rings to us to match in person. Finally, other clients visit in person. We carry most styles, including the Raphael Collection, in our showroom to view. 

Furthermore, we give expert advice and guidance on settings styles, in addition, which precious metal to choose—for example, White Gold, Platinum, Yellow Gold and Rose Gold.

We now create most of our ring styles as lab-grown diamond eternity rings, created as a further, affordable alternative to natural diamonds.

Resizing Eternity Bands


Please ensure that you have the correct finger size before placing your order. Most designs cannot be adjusted for size. For this reason, we recommend ordering with the correct ring size. 


As part of our bespoke service, we can send the empty ring mount before setting diamonds. This allows our client to check the size first.
