Not Just Plain Round Diamonds Anymore: the Contemporary Eternity Wedding Bands

By Natalie Whitman


Checking and double checking your ring size when ordering eternity bands in a must, as the precise shape, number, and individual carat weight of each stone is dictated by the ring size and these can be very difficult to re-size without completely re-manufacturing the rings.

Maintenance of your eternity ring should be handled with extreme care-never attempt to secure, remove, or replace stones yourself, or clean your ring with harsh chemical solutions. All service that may affect the structural integrity of your eternity setting should be done by a professional jeweler-preferably someone on the staff of the retailer from which the ring was purchased. Likewise, if your ring requires a thorough cleaning it's best to take it to a professional, but to remove light buildup and restore shine between professional cleanings, it's safe to wash your eternity ring with liquid soap and a soft cloth.

Along with the classic all-diamond styles, eternity rings can also be found or created in a number of different metals and precious stone combinations, so if your dream ring has princess cut blue sapphires alternating with diamonds in a rose gold channel setting, this once difficult request can likely be met through an online retailer.

The solid circle formed by the shining pattern of precious gems in an eternity ring is an extra special take on the lasting love symbolism of the wedding band in general. Of course as the circle has no beginning and no end it's said to represent love that lasts forever, and most of us are familiar with the saying "diamonds are forever" and can thus see the double significance of a diamond eternity wedding band.

Eternity rings can be seen in a number of styles and settings in order to provide eternity rings for every customer's style and taste. These setting styles and methods include: shared prong, single prong, bar setting, u shape, channel setting, pave, four prong, bezel, and micro pave. Eternity rings, which are equally stunning and popular as wedding bands and fashion rings, are named because the basic style of an eternity ring forms the traditional neverending shape of the wedding ring with a solid circle of precious stones, most commonly diamonds.
