Selecting Your Perfect Eternity Bands

By Sharona Blakely


What do eternity rings symbolize? Many times the eternity rings are purchased as an Eternity Bands for a couple's wedding day, but nowadays, it is getting very popular to buy them for significant occasions such as a very special anniversary, a special birthday or even celebrating a baby's birth.

Ordering the right size is the most important decision you have to make. Full eternity bands can be very difficult to resize as the proportions of the gems and carat weight have to balance to form the circle of gems properly. You can get around this problem by either buying a ring with a discounted re-manufacturing plan, or choose a half or partial eternity style that leaves a portion of plain metal in the underside of the band.

The stones shape and size is another variation of this ring. The most popular shapes are round, emerald cut and princess cut. Most times those different shapes are not combined, but anything is possible if desired. But be aware that for the sake of comfort, full circle Eternity Rings should use smaller stones. This also includes Diamond Eternity Rings.

Another popular choice is eternity engagement ring styles with round brilliant cut diamonds in a channel setting. For a channel set eternity ring, the diamonds are set flush side by side between either two strips of gold or platinum. An eternity band ring in this style offers excellent protection against any snagging on clothing or hair and is a very distinctive, contemporary looking ring.
