Symbolize Your Endless True love With A Diamonds Eternity Ring
Modern eternity rings are ordinarily “channel set” for comfort. A raised metal ridge is applied to either edge of the band and stones are mounted to sit within this height, once again making the ring comfortable for the wearer, while the stones receive additional light to accentuate their facets more completely. Individual “claw” set rings were previously used only in “half” eternity rings (the stones only set half way around the band.) With the ability to craft claw settings that fit tightly and can be smoothed to the point of comfort, they can now be set as a full eternity ring allowing even more brilliant shine to the stones. These rings must be made specifically for the recipient. Many individuals believe they mustn’t be sized because the band shouldn’t be cut–breaking the circle. Sizing could also mean that, because of the placement of the stones encircling the ring, some might be lost, or the alteration might make an uneven space in the band. So eternity rings are always purchased to size or made to order.
The popular meaning of eternal love attached to these eternity ring has been widened out for modern couples. Circular bands of diamonds still complement a diamond solitaire engagement ring as a wedding band. However, their popularity has spread to anniversary rings as well, symbolizing the eternity you plan to spend together or (for a 25th or 50th anniversary) acknowledging the “eternity” of love already shared. Commemorating the birth of a child is an ideal occasion to celebrate with the gift of one of these rings. It can symbolize eternal love for your wife and the gift she has given you, or the eternity of your family. Many men (married or not) choose to gift their love with an eternity ring to wear on her right hand.
Today’s designers make a wide variety of these symbolic eternity rings. Some accentuate the band design rather than the stones used in the ring. A “balcony band” designed by Jessica Behzad is based on the wrought iron balconies of the New Orleans French Quarter. It follows delicate curls and arched shapes reminiscent of wrought iron scroll work. The pattern repeats itself around the ring and has a few bevel-set gemstones accenting the design. Another unusual ring design is a “wreath and berry” band by designer Ji Hwang. The wreath woven from leaves was long ago a symbol or victory and royalty; today they symbolize celebrations. With two rows of jewels surrounding the ring, this design is a perfect way to commemorate any special moment. These are all made to order with whichever metals and stones you choose.
