ETERNITY & COMMITMENT RINGS

Eternity rings are traditionally given on the birth of a first child. For many couples however, they are given simply to say "I'll love you forever".

There are many different styles. The most common, known as a ‘full eternity’ ring, is a band set with diamonds all the way around the finger. A ‘half-eternity’ is a practical alternative, with diamonds around the top of the finger and a plain band at the back. Many people opt for other stones, such as rubies, emeralds or sapphires, either instead of diamonds, or interspersed with diamonds in a regular pattern.

More and more couples nowadays are committing to one another for life, but opting not to marry. An eternity ring is an ideal statement of love and commitment.

As an alternative to a traditional eternity ring, there are other styles of commitment or partnership rings to choose from – some with hidden messages, or set with stones that hold a personal meaning for the couple.

One example is the ‘Arch Ring’ which combines many symbolic images. The arch symbolises a doorway through to a new beginning. The two arches almost meeting represent two people coming together, without quite becoming one. The scrolls engraved around the ring are the ancient symbol of life source whilst the diamonds are for eternity.
