Eternity bands can be difficult to make because rings are sold by carat total weight, so for each ring ordered ordered all the stones need to be a uniform color, shape, and size so the circle they form will look good, add up to the proper carat total weight, and fit the wearer’s finger.
Eternity rings, which make wonderful anniversary gifts, are available in a number of setting styles that display and secure the gems in different ways according to the wearer’s preferences. Some of the most popular types of eternity ring settings are the bar setting, channel setting, four prong setting, pave, micro pave, shared prong, and single prong.
Along with the classic all-diamond styles, eternity rings can also be found or created in a number of different metals and precious stone combinations, so if your dream ring has princess cut blue sapphires alternating with diamonds in a rose gold channel setting, this once difficult request can likely be met through an online retailer.
The solid circle formed by the shining pattern of precious gems in an eternity ring is an extra special take on the lasting love symbolism of the wedding band in general. Of course as the circle has no beginning and no end it’s said to represent love that lasts forever, and most of us are familiar with the saying “diamonds are forever” and can thus see the double significance of a diamond eternity wedding band.
If diamonds aren’t your style, or you like them but want a bit more color in your eternity bands, you won’t be left out! Many jewelers now stock and custom make eternity rings with rubies, emeralds, black diamonds, and blue, yellow, or pink sapphires.
