An eternity ring (also known as a memoire ring) is more than just a piece of jewelry – it symbolizes eternal love and enduring connection. Whether for a wedding, an anniversary, or the birth of a child, the sparkling ring is the perfect companion for life’s most important milestones. In this article, you’ll learn everything you need to know about eternity rings – from their meaning to choosing the right design and practical tips.
Why Are Eternity Rings Given?
Eternity rings symbolize infinity. They are traditionally given for special occasions, including:
- Anniversaries: A symbol of years filled with love.
- The Birth of a Child: A meaningful gift to mothers to celebrate the start of a new life.
- Milestones: Buying a home, career achievements, or simply as an expression of love.
Types of Eternity Rings
Full Eternity Rings
Full eternity rings feature diamonds encircling the entire band. They offer maximum brilliance but are less flexible for resizing.
Half Eternity Rings
Half eternity rings adorn only the upper half of the ring. They are more comfortable and practical for everyday wear.
Personalized Designs
Whether with colored gemstones like sapphires or rubies, or a modern design with mixed metals – your eternity ring can be as unique as your love story.
Materials and Diamond Cuts
The choice of material and diamond shape gives your ring its perfect look:
- Materials: Platinum, white gold, yellow gold, and rose gold.
- Diamond Cuts: Round, baguette, princess, and oval.
How Do You Wear an Eternity Ring?
Traditionally, the eternity ring is worn on the same finger as the engagement ring and wedding rings. However, it can also shine solo or on another finger – whatever suits your style.
