Just What Is An Eternity Ring? You know, this is actually a much more common question than you might think! So here's a great explanation for you that should help answer any questions and clarify things further... An eternity ring is a lady's ring which consists of a band of precious metal, usually gold, traditionally set with a continuous line of identically cut small diamonds. The circle has long been a symbol of eternity and its use dates back to many ancient civilizations – in the format of a ring, it symbolizes never-ending love. So the continuous circle of precious metal that can never be broken, denotes ‘strength’ and ‘forever-ness’. The ring is usually given by a husband to his wife on the occasion of a significant anniversary, to mark a special moment or milestone in the relationship, or following the birth of a child. The diamond eternity ring concept was invented in the 1960s by diamond merchant De Beers, with the married woman in mind and since that time, it's become a hugely popular romantic gift amongst established couples. Nowadays, there are variations of the ring which feature different precious stones (the classic one features diamonds) and differing amounts of stones. So how does one wear an Eternity ring? Well, there is no single protocol. Some people stack it with their engagement ring and wedding band, others replace an existing ring with it and others still, will wear it on the fourth finger of the right hand.

Just What Is An Eternity Ring?

You know, this is actually a much more common question than you might think!

So here's a great explanation for you that should help answer any questions and clarify things further...

An eternity ring is a lady's ring which consists of a band of precious metal, usually gold, traditionally set with a continuous line of identically cut small diamonds.

The circle has long been a symbol of eternity and its use dates back to many ancient civilizations – in the format of a ring, it symbolizes never-ending love.

So the continuous circle of precious metal that can never be broken, denotes ‘strength’ and ‘forever-ness’. The ring is usually given by a husband to his wife on the occasion of a significant anniversary, to mark a special moment or milestone in the relationship, or following the birth of a child.

The diamond eternity ring concept was invented in the 1960s by diamond merchant De Beers, with the married woman in mind and since that time, it's become a hugely popular romantic gift amongst established couples.

Nowadays, there are variations of the ring which feature different precious stones (the classic one features diamonds) and differing amounts of stones.

So how does one wear an Eternity ring?

Well, there is no single protocol.

Some people stack it with their engagement ring and wedding band, others replace an existing ring with it and others still, will wear it on the fourth finger of the right hand.
