There are many different styles of wedding rings on the market today from traditional styles through to very unique customized rings. Wedding rings are an important piece of jewelry; however, they aren’t the final ring in the set in many cases. Eternity rings are a popular gift that is added to the wedding set years after the happy day.
Eternity rings differ from anniversary rings in that they are typically given at any special event or date after the wedding rings. Anniversary rings, on the other hand, are typically reserved for anniversaries, often the fifth or tenth, however any anniversary can be appropriate.
Since most couples aren’t thinking far into the future when selecting wedding rings and engagement rings, anniversary rings and eternity rings are designed to compliment almost any style of traditional or custom designed bridal set. In some cases the women’s bridal rings, if sold in a set, may also include a matching eternity ring.
When wedding rings are ornate or very detailed, the eternity or anniversary rings can be rather elegant and simplistic in style. They are generally of the same color or type of metal as the wedding bands and rings, making a dramatic and beautiful presentation.
There are several styles of both eternity and anniversary rings. A very popular style is a half eternity ring which includes a channel style setting and several medium to smaller sized diamonds or other precious or semi-precious stone, typically in keeping with the gems on the wedding rings.
The benefit to the half eternity ring style is that it will match with any style of wedding rings since it is a rounded or flat band and will sit level with the other bands in the set. Since the diamonds don’t protrude from the ring they are comfortable to wear and can be easily resized as needed.
For some women the eternity ring will replace one of the wedding rings, typically the wedding band. This often happens if the wedding band is rather traditional and simple and the couple would like to add a bit more dazzle to the wedding set.
For those women that want to change the look of their wedding sets this substitution of the eternity or anniversary band with the wedding rings or wedding band is a great option. It gives the wedding rings a whole new look with a wonderful addition.
