Eternity rings are usually set with an unbroken circle of gems, from diamonds to emeralds and every precious stone in between. The choice is yours and if you're looking to buy a such a meaningful ring, read this article giving you top tips on how to choose an eternity ring.
Choose the right style to complement an engagement ring
Remember that the eternity ring usually sits next to the engagement ring, so it's important to select the right stone and cut. For continuity, you need a ring that will have at least one style or motif from the engagement ring.
For a pear cut or oval cut, the eternity ring will probably sit under the engagement ring so make sure you bear all this in mind.
Bear in mind the width for eternity rings. You need to choose a ring design with a similar width to the engagement ring.
Consider the profile of the eternity ring and its shape. The depth of the ring needs to match the engagement ring, otherwise they'll look out of sync on the finger.
If the engagement ring has an unusual setting, you'll need to get advice on the appropriate eternity ring so that the two flow. You might consider a partially set eternity ring.
Match the metal type with the engagement rings so that the wear will be the same.
Eternity rings can be full or partially set. Choose whichever you feel works best and is comfortable for the wearer. If you're planning a surprise and you might need to adjust the size of the ring, it's best to go for a partially set one.
