Searching for Eternity Rings? Diamond Eternity Rings

Eternity rings are different from Engagement and Wedding Rings, in that they are tokens of relationship milestones. This is evident in its continuous ring of small Diamonds, meant to symbolize forever. Eternity rings are typically given to celebrate important events in a couple’s history, such as a milestone anniversary or the birth of a child.

De Beers created the concept of the Eternity Ring. It got it start when the Soviet Union discovered diamond mines in Siberia – which yielded gems smaller in size compared to the “conflict diamonds” of South Africa.

During that time, the prevailing fashion for Engagement And Wedding Rings called for a single large, uncut diamond adorning the band. De Beers marketed the eternity ring’s design as a symbol of undying love, with its continuous loop of smaller diamonds. The campaign was so successful thattraditional rings were soon viewed as too ostentatious, and the new eternity rings as more sophisticated.

Eternity Rings
are offered in a wide range of styles, settings and stones. With regards to design, there are actually two versions: full and half eternity ring.

While the common eternity ring emphasized undying love with its looped setting, the continuous set Of Diamonds did make it cumbersome to wear. The gems have a tendency to dig into the palm, especially when the hand is clenched. As such, the half eternity ring was born, despite being somewhat of an oxymoron and going against De Beer’s original motive.

In addition, the thickness of the band in full eternity rings make them impractical to wear full-time. The rings can’t be easily resized due to the gems surrounding the band. As such, these rings are best custom designed according to the size of the wearer’s finger… assuming she doesn’t get fat.

Another advantage of the half eternity ring is that all the diamonds can be viewed. With less space to take up, larger stones can also be used compared to the full model.

By way of stone, the most popular choice, of course, are diamonds. However, recently, other gems have rose in acceptance, such as emeralds, rubies and sapphires. The stones also come in different cuts: straight-edge cuts are the easiest to set, compared to round brilliant ones.

Simply because eternity rings are different from engagement and wedding rings, it is up to the wearer how and when to wear them. Most women wear eternity rings on the same finger as the Wedding Ring, while some choose wearing both rings as the same time. When freshly given, many choose to replace the wedding ring with the eternity ring, and wear it together with the Engagement Ring. It seems that the slump has made Consumers more low-key once more.
