FAQs About Eternity Wedding Rings

In Which Order Do You Wear Engagement, Wedding and Eternity Rings?

When it comes to stacking your rings, the traditional order is to wear your engagement ring first, followed by your wedding band, and finally, your eternity ring. This arrangement symbolizes the progression of your relationship, from the promise of love to the commitment of marriage and the ongoing journey together. However, there are no strict rules, and you're free to wear your unique eternity rings in the order that feels most comfortable and meaningful to you.

What Do Eternity Rings Look Like?

Eternity rings typically feature a continuous circle of small diamonds or gemstones set around the entire band, symbolizing never-ending love and commitment. There are various styles available, from classic designs featuring uniform gemstones to more unique eternity rings with alternating stones or intricate patterns. They can have gemstones all the way round the finger or be half-eternity style with gemstones covering a portion of the band. Regardless of your personal taste, there's an eternity ring out there that perfectly reflects your love story.

What Do Eternity Rings Symbolize?

Eternity rings represent an everlasting bond between two people and are often given to mark special milestones in a couple's life, such as anniversaries or the birth of a child. The continuous circle of gemstones is a reminder of the unbreakable nature of love, and the eternity ring serves as a symbol of the commitment, loyalty, and affection that you share with your partner.

What is the difference between eternity rings and half-eternity rings?

What Are the Rules for Eternity Rings?

There are no strict rules when it comes to eternity rings. They can be given on any special occasion or simply as a heartfelt gesture of love. You can choose a ring that matches your existing wedding set or select a unique eternity ring that complements your personal style. The most important factor is that your ring represents your love and commitment to each other.

Can I customize my Gabriel & Co.’s eternity ring?

Certainly! You can choose the metal that you like best, and the gemstones that you prefer on your eternity ring. To add a small engraving, such as a name, a date or a small design, you are invited to contact our customer service team, and we’ll make sure your eternal ring will be as unique as the love you share with your significant other.

What Finger Do You Wear an Eternity Ring On?

Traditionally, an eternity ring is worn on the left hand, on the same finger as your engagement and wedding rings. However, some people choose to wear their eternity ring on their right hand or even a different finger altogether. Ultimately, it's up to you and your partner to decide which finger feels right for your eternity ring. As you explore your options, remember that the most important aspect of your unique eternity ring is that it reflects your beautiful love story.

How do I clean and store my eternity ring?

To clean your eternity ring, immerse it in a solution of warm water and a gentle cleaner. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid employing aggressive chemicals that could damage the precious stones and the metal. Store your ring in a separate box or jewelry bag to prevent abrasion. Consider having your eternity ring inspected and cleaned by a professional jeweler once every 6 to 12 months.

All About Eternity Rings

Eternity rings, or eternity wedding rings, are pieces of fine jewelry that symbolize eternal love. The love you share with your significant other knows no beginning and no end. This is showcased in their design: a continuous band studded with an unbroken line of diamonds or other precious stones. Eternity rings hold a special place in the hearts of any couple as they are a promise of eternal love and commitment. Therefore, their appeal not only resides in their beautiful aesthetics as pieces of fine jewelry, but also in the deep meaning behind their creation.

What is an Eternity Wedding Ring?

Eternity rings, as the name implies, are rings or bands that are often decorated with gemstones and symbolize eternal love and commitment. They feature an unbroken line of gemstones, usually all around the band and sometimes halfway around the band. The latter style is called half-eternity bands. The precious stones that adorn the band are usually diamonds and sapphires, which are two of the hardiest gemstones on the planet. They are not only a symbol of eternal beauty and endurance, but also add more shimmer and shine to the band.

Traditional wedding bands are usually crafted with simpler designs, usually decorated with one stone, often a diamond. In contrast, eternity rings are more elaborate and carry a deeper meaning thanks to the line of gemstones all along the band. This string of shimmering gemstones symbolizes infinity and everlasting love.

Eternity rings come in two styles: Full eternity rings and half-eternity rings. The gemstones in full eternity rings encircle the entire band, making for an uninterrupted line of shimmer and gleam. This style is more popular thanks to its symbolism and aesthetics. Half-eternity rings, on the other hand, feature gemstones that decorate only the front half of the band. This style is more practical to wear, and usually more comfortable around the finger, than the former while keeping a beautiful aesthetic. Half-eternity rings are also easier to resize due to the lack of gemstones on the back half of the ring.

History and Significance

Eternity rings have always held a deep cultural and symbolic significance, representing eternal love and fidelity. They are similar in that regard to wedding bands; however, eternal rings are usually more embellished and studded with gemstones. And unlike wedding bands that are exchanged on the wedding day, eternity rings are gifted to mark a special anniversary in the couple’s life.

Materials and Metals

Eternity rings symbolize eternal love, and in turn, they should be eternal as well. We, at Gabriel & Co., exclusively use the finest materials to craft our eternity rings, such as yellow, white, and rose gold, as well as Platinum. Each of these stunning metals lends our eternity rings a special appearance and appeal. Let’s discuss each of these precious metals together:

White gold is lustrous and highly coveted and is the most popular choice for an eternity ring. And this is not without reason: This shiny metal is neutral in color as its name suggests, and so the white gold alloy tends to be white. In addition to being the most resistant of all metals, it makes for the perfect base for the inlay of all kinds of precious stones.

Yellow gold is undeniably classic and embodies nobility as it possesses a warm golden hue. This popular metal is timeless and its symbolism of refined wealth and unwavering value along with its visual appeal make it the perfect metal for eternity rings.

Rose gold is feminine and trendy and adds a touch of vintage charm to eternity rings. Cheerful and resistant, rose gold serves as a beautiful backdrop to diamonds and sapphires creating a romantic and captivating contrast between the rose color of the band and the contrasting brilliance of the gemstones.

Platinum is timeless and universal. Platinum is white-gray in color, very durable, and very more resistant than gold. It stands the test of time without fail and its color suits all tastes. Known to perfectly highlight diamonds, this metal is a great alternative to gold, although it commands a higher price than gold.

Gemstone Options

Gabriel & Co. offers you exquisite eternity rings and half-eternity rings decorated with diamonds and sapphires.

A symbol of luxury and eternal love, diamonds have always captivated the hearts and minds of brides. These precious stones, with their impressive shine, have always been used to commemorate special occasions, such as weddings and engagements.

If diamonds reign supreme when it comes to eternity rings, sapphires are equally appreciated in the world of fine jewelry. Known for their deep blue hues, sapphires are gemstones that have always dazzled all humans. Thanks to their distinctive color and sublime beauty, sapphires have long been favored in the world of jewelry by celebrities and royalty, and a sapphire on an eternity ring is a promise of honesty, sincerity, and fidelity.

You can always mix between different gemstones for a greater contrast and more shimmer. A very popular mix is between diamonds and sapphires in an alternating setting. This setting creates a deep contrast between the purity of diamonds and the blue hues of sapphires.

Customization Options

When choosing your eternity ring, you have several possibilities for personalizing it and making it a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry. After all, choosing an eternity ring that speaks to you and your unique love story allows you to safeguard your treasured memories and occasions. With unique designs and engravings, every detail contributes to the ultimate expression of your love and everlasting bond.

Choosing the Right Eternity Ring

To select the perfect eternity ring for your special anniversary, we would like to give the following tips. Visually, choose the ring that reflects your partner’s taste in design, metal color and gemstones. Think of the significance behind each of these aspects to select the most sentimental eternal ring. It’s also important to consider the lifestyle of the wearer. A traditional eternity ring is the classic choice, but a half-eternity ring is better suited for everyday wear.

It's also a good idea to choose the metal color that corresponds to the engagement ring of your partner. You can also try to match the gemstones on the engagement ring for a cleaner look or choose different gemstones for a more striking look.

Care and Maintenance

To keep your eternity ring in good condition, we invite you to follow these simple tips. To clean your ring, immerse it in a solution of warm water and a gentle cleaner. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. To clean your ring's delicate prongs, use a soft brush with utmost care. Avoid employing aggressive chemicals that could damage the precious stones and the metal. Store your ring in a separate box or jewelry bag to prevent abrasion. Consider having your eternity ring inspected and cleaned by a professional jeweler once every 6 to 12 months.

Buying Guide

Before purchasing your eternity ring, it's crucial to have a thorough understanding of certain key aspects. Evaluate the materials and craftsmanship of your ring. The ring's polish and design symmetry indicate quality craftsmanship. Verifying the origin and provenance of precious stones is crucial for maintaining the value of your ring. You can always request certificates from independent organizations like the GIA for gemstones, particularly diamonds on your eternity ring.
