By definition, the eternity ring is a design characterised by diamonds or any other type of precious gemstone set across the entire band, their endlessness symbolic of eternal love. Traditionally, eternity rings are gifted from spouse to spouse post-marriage, usually as a means of celebrating a special occasion like an anniversary. Though this is the conventional expectation of an eternity ring, essentially all we’re dealing with here are bands encrusted with sparkling stones. If bling’s your thing, there’s no reason that an eternity design couldn’t fulfil the wedding band role!
Experience has also taught us that eternity-cum-wedding rings reside in a sweet spot between ‘unconventional’ and ‘suitable’. Though not necessarily a customary wedding band design, the eternity ring is a timeless blueprint that ages well and tends to be a hit with older and more traditional members of the family.
Traditional Western wedding bands tend to be plain, polished and cast in a hard-wearing precious metal like gold or platinum. Their ergonomic and often modest designs are reflective of a need for comfort, practicality and longevity. This doesn’t mean that conventional wedding bands are the be-all and end-all, but their functional nature does serve as a benchmark from which to ask yourself some fundamental questions.
