Eternity rings are very special gifts given on occasions like anniversaries and the birth of a child.
The giving of jewellery is always a sign of affection, but the ring, much like a wedding ring, is a symbol of everlasting love and can be just as meaningful as a wedding ring.
Giving a tangible symbol of love and affection is a wonderful way to shows someone how much they are loved.
The price of rings vary, depending on the cut and type of stones.
The most common stone found on an eternity ring is the diamond.
Stone like emeralds, rubies and sapphires are also used.
The cut of the stones also matter as the stones are set side by side on the band of the ring.
Stones that are cut squared or rectangular are easier to set on the band and are often preferred to rounded stones.
There are two styles of rings that can be found.
The first style is a full eternity ring.
This ring has stones all the way around the band.
This does, however, make it a little impractical for many people.
The full ring cannot be sized easily to fit the perfect finger and because of this most must be custom made.
It is because of this that the full style rings are more expensive than the second style, the half eternity ring.
The half styled rings only have stones across the top of the band.
This makes them much more practical for everyday wear and also makes them a little less expensive.
Larger stones can be used in the half ring and many people like the half ring because all the stones can be easily seen.
