What is an Eternity Ring? The Symbol for Eternal Love

Want to celebrate a milestone in life? Then the Eternity ring (also called the Alliance ring) might be the most beautiful choice.

This ring is not only beautiful to look at thanks to its many sparkling stones, but also holds deep symbolism. Discover here why this piece is the ultimate gift for anniversaries and births.

The Meaning: A Circle Without End

An Eternity ring features a row of gemstones that fills (almost) the entire band. Because the circle of stones never ends, it symbolizes eternal love and immortality.

The concept is thousands of years old; the ancient Egyptians already gave each other rings with an 'ouroboros' (snake biting its own tail) as a sign of eternity. The modern version with diamonds or Zirconia became popular in the 1960s and is now an indispensable part of life.

Types: Full vs. Half Eternity

There are two variations of this ring. It's important to know the difference before you buy:

1. Full Eternity: This design features stones that run all the way around the finger. It sparkles from every angle, but is often more difficult to cut to size and can be a bit thicker between the fingers.

2. Half Eternity (Alliance): Here, the stones only cover the top of the ring. This is often more comfortable, more affordable, and easier to adjust. This type is often used as ladies ring to join the table.

When do you give an Eternity Ring?

Although you are of course free to buy it, there are three classic giving moments:

• Anniversary: ​​Often given for a 10th or 25th wedding anniversary.

• Birth (Push Present): As a gift to the new mother.

• Wedding Ring: As a sparkling addition to a simple engagement ring .

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do you wear an Eternity ring? This ring is the ultimate "stackable ring." You often wear it together (stacked) on the same finger as your wedding ring.
