Show off True Beauty with an Eternity Ring

Most people assume rings are only shared with a significant other on a proposal or during the wedding. While this is when the majority of rings are exchanged, it is not the only time. Of course, someone is free to provide a ring whenever they desire, and while it should never outshine the engagement ring, there are some options out there that women can wear in order to show the extended commitment from her significant other. One such ring option that is available is known as eternity rings. These eternity rings are constructed out of the same material as a traditional engagement ring, so for anyone worried as to whether it might match the engagement ring or not, this is not a problem. However, it does have very specific meaning behind the ring and it is possible for the individual to select several different variations of rings, in order to ensure the recipient always receives a ring that is specific to them.

An eternity ring looks very similar to the wedding band that is exchanged during a wedding ceremony. It is usually a thin band, constructed out of a precious metal, such as gold or platinum. Along the middle of the ring there is a line of identically cut gemstones. These gemstones are usually diamonds as well, although it can vary from person to person, depending on their particular tastes. The goal of the ring is to symbolize a person's never ending love to the recipient of the ring.

Now, eternity rings are broken down into two sub categories: full eternity ring and half-eternity. With a full eternity ring, the diamonds go all the way around the ring, so there is no real top or bottom to it. An individual can slide the ring onto their finger without any worry as to what side is facing up. 

Full Eternity Rings

Half-eternity rings have diamonds running along just the top half portion of the ring. With the fingers along the ring on the hand, it is not possible to see that the bottom portion of the ring does not have diamonds on it. Typically, this design is constructed in order to cut down on the price of the ring. However, as the gemstones used in the construction of the ring are rather small, the variation of the price typically isn't that drastic. 

Half Eternity Rings

Eternity rings have been around for several centuries. In the 18th century, the design of the ring often featured a variation of different gemstones, including white topaz. However, while the design of the eternity ring has been around for some time, the actual concept of such a ring is on the newer side. The concept of an eternity ring as a gift potentially after the engagement ring came about in the 1960s from De Beers, the world famous diamond merchant. They used this design because the diamond company had to purchase over 90 percent of the small, uncut diamonds produced in the Soviet Union in order to obtain the larger diamonds and they needed a way to sell the smaller diamonds. 

The next time someone is looking to show their love for a significant other, regardless of if they are engaged, married or just looking to prove their love for all time, eternity rings are an excellent option. These can mark a significant anniversary, or someone can use this ring just to prove their love to the other individual. Regardless of the situation though and what someone is looking for, there is going to be the right eternity rings out there for them to use and to give to their true love. So what are you waiting for!!!

Anjolee Jewellery

When it comes to jewellery, I can be quite fussy about what I like. I am a simple a girl at heart and don't like rings that are too big, necklaces that cling to my neck or bracelets that dangle too far off my wrist, oh and I am allergic to gold and some silver - so not alot to ask for really!

Anjolee Jewellery is based in San Diego, California and is one of the biggest diamond jewelry manufacturers in the United States. Founded in 1977 and has an extensive catalogue of bridal jewellery, rings, diamond bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and pendants, all of which are absolutely stunning. However, Anjolee is the only jewellery website which has a unique customization system in place which gives you, the customer, the ability to custom-build all of our jewellery designs based on taste and budget.

When it came to choosing my own engagement and wedding ring, thankfully my hubby knew me quite well.  I don't like rings which have big diamonds standing off them, I have quite small hands and use a fair amount of machinery at work, within which I am always putting my hands, so I would be terrified of constantly losing or breaking my ring.  That said, I love eternity band, I know most people get them after having their first child, but as I have none but do have three cats, I think I deserve one right (a girl can try)?  So, this is my top ten eternity rings that I love from Anjolee and I would love to know what you think!

As you can see, each and every one of them is absolutely stunning and definitely the kind of ring I can see myself wearing, the decision of which one however is one I would struggle to decide upon.

Which one would you choose?
