Eternity Rings: A Symbol of Endless Love and Commitment

1. What Is an Eternity Ring?

An eternity ring is a powerful symbol of never-ending love. Traditionally given to mark a special anniversary or the birth of a child, these rings feature a continuous or part-set row of gemstones — most commonly diamonds — and are worn to celebrate lasting commitment.

2. Full vs. Half Eternity Rings

There are two main types of eternity rings:

- **Full Eternity**: Gemstones set all the way around the band, symbolising complete, unbroken love. A luxurious and dramatic look.
- **Half Eternity**: Gemstones across the top half only — offering a similar sparkle with added comfort and practicality for daily wear.

Both options are equally meaningful; the choice comes down to style, budget, and lifestyle.

3. When to Give an Eternity Ring

Eternity rings are typically gifted to mark important milestones, such as:

- A 1st, 10th, or 25th wedding anniversary
- The birth of a first child
- Renewal of vows or personal achievements
- A celebration of lasting love — anytime, not just on anniversaries

They’re also a popular upgrade or addition to an existing bridal set.

4. Metals and Stone Options

At Hallmark the Jewellers, we offer eternity rings in a wide variety of styles and materials:

- **Metals**: Yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, and platinum
- **Gemstones**: Classic white diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, or coloured stones
- **Settings**: Channel, claw, grain-set or bar-set designs

You can choose something traditional, modern, or fully bespoke.

5. Matching Your Bridal Set

- Match the metal and profile
- Choose complementary stone shapes or sizes
