What is an eternity ring?

An eternity ring is the ultimate token of love - able to convey a message of everlasting commitment from one person to another, its significance has been appreciated as far back as 2000 years ago when the ancient Egyptians would associate the ring symbol with “eternity”. Back then, these rings would be carved from wood, reeds and metal. But the symbolic meaning behind an eternity ring has come a long way since then. Now, crafted from an alluring selection of precious metals and adorned with colourful gemstones and scintillating diamonds – eternity rings are an incredibly popular piece of jewellery to wear all-year through.

Different types of eternity rings

Of course, when it comes to gemstone eternity rings there are a plethora of different coloured stones to choose from. Some of the most popular include sapphire eternity rings, ruby eternity rings and tanzanite eternity rings. That said, it’s not unusual to see these gemstones accompanied with alternating diamonds for a more contemporary styling. Diamond eternity rings, however, are the most well-loved by far. Available in a half diamond-set style or a full diamond design, there’s enough choice from our collection to keep you inspired as you explore the different options from our eternity rings collection

When is an eternity ring worn?

The reason behind wearing an eternity ring is almost as varied as the varieties of styles and finishes it comes in. There are many excuses to wear an eternity ring. The design (which is often characterized by a full band of equally sized stones or a top half set with diamonds) can be worn to signify any kind of special milestone in life. It could be gifted from one lover to another to mark a special wedding anniversary, or gifted to someone graduating from university and starting a new career path. In addition to wearing the popular eternity ring as a symbol of everlasting love and commitment between one individual and another, they can also be worn to mark the birth of a baby and other similar life-changing milestones.
