When To Give An Eternity Ring


Eternity Ring.jpgThe eternity ring: an unbroken circle of gemstones representing everlasting love and commitment. Its beautiful design dates back to Ancient Egypt, when in old hieroglyphics the circle symbolised eternity, and people were buried with rings crafted with precious metal and gemstones.

What makes an eternity ring so special is the way it’s made, traditionally with a full circle of diamonds going all the way around the ring. Nowadays though, you can also choose a half eternity ring, which features stones only on the top half of the band. This brings the cost of the ring down and makes it more comfortable to wear, meaning you would be able to wear it all the time with your wedding or engagement ring. Some people prefer the impact of a full band of stones, however, and keep their eternity ring to wear on special occasions only.


But when, exactly, is the best time to give an eternity ring? Is there a specific time when it is appropriate?

Unlike engagement and wedding rings, which mark a specific event, an eternity ring can be given at any point during a relationship, as a reminder of lasting love and friendship. It is usually given to a wife by her husband to mark a significant wedding anniversary, once they have seen a few years together.

Whether it’s after 10, 25 or 40 years together, an anniversary is an ideal time to give an eternity ring. Due to the number of diamonds or precious stones needed to create it, the ring is usually more costly than an engagement or wedding ring, so it makes sense to save it for later on in life when there is more money to invest in it.

Another popular time to give an eternity ring is on the birth of the first child. This significant landmark deserves to be recognised with a special gift, and an eternity ring will act as a physical reminder of lifelong family devotion.

But who says tradition always has to be followed? There are many occasions in life which could be celebrated with an eternity ring, such as a special birthday, a promotion at work or when you purchase of your first home together. Perhaps you have overcome a battle with an illness, or you have survived a difficult financial period. Whatever the occasion, if it’s important to you then it’s worth acknowledging with this special ring.
