FAQs: Eternity Bands
What is an eternity band?
An eternity band is one of the most classic and powerful pieces of jewelry you can own. Simply put, it’s a ring with a continuous line of diamonds all the way around. And yeah, the symbolism is a total main character moment—that unbroken circle represents a love that has no beginning and no end. It’s the ultimate romantic gesture, a tangible promise of forever you can wear every day. Eternity bands are most often gifted to celebrate a huge milestone. Think, a big anniversary like your 10th or 20th, a special birthday, the birth of a child, or even a major career achievement. Basically, it marks a moment that is special to you and your partner. When it comes to style, the options are endless. You can go for something classic, like brilliant round diamonds, or something more modern, like sleek baguette cuts. As for settings, a bezel-set eternity band offers a contemporary vibe and a secure feel, while a shared prong setting allows each diamond to shine. The cost is determined by the size, number, and quality of the diamonds, but no matter the final price, you’re investing in a piece that’ll last forever. Our clients’ reviews speak for themselves. They consistently talk about the amazing and outstanding experience they have working with our team. We believe in providing a personal and meaningful experience, and we would be honored to help you find the perfect eternity band.
How do I wear an eternity band?
That feeling of a new ring sliding onto your finger is a moment all its own. It's the weight of the metal, the flash of a diamond, and the emotional resonance of a milestone all in one. So once that new eternity band is in your hands, the fun part begins: deciding how to wear it and where it fits into the beautiful story you’re already wearing. You can definitely add it to your existing bridal stack on your left ring finger. This is the most common choice and creates a cohesive and gorgeous arrangement. If you’re sticking to tradition, the eternity band goes on top of the wedding band and engagement ring, but some people also love a three-ring stack with the eternity band on the outside. Of course, there’s always the option of building a completely separate stack on your other hand or simply choosing another finger to create a balanced look. But here’s the thing–you’ll also want to consider comfort. Because an eternity band has diamonds all the way around, some people find it a little bulky when stacked closely with other rings. If you want to avoid feeling any friction, you may want to consider a half eternity band that only has diamonds on the top half. Ultimately, the choice is yours, and there’s no wrong answer!
Can an eternity band be resized?
The short answer is no, a traditional full eternity band generally can’t be resized. The reason is simple. Because an eternity band is a continuous circle of diamonds, a jeweler would have to cut the ring to make it bigger or smaller. Doing that risks damaging the delicate setting, loosening stones, and completely disrupting the beautiful symmetry of the ring. It’s a very complicated and often impossible process that most reputable jewelers won’t even attempt. But don’t worry, this doesn’t have to be an issue for you.The key is to be proactive and explore your options before you purchase a ring. The most important step is to get the perfect size from the beginning. We’ll work with you through the process, taking into account the width of the band and how it will sit in your ideal ring arrangement. If you're worried about your finger size changing down the road, there are some great modern solutions. A half eternity band or a 3/4 eternity band is the perfect compromise. These rings still give you incredible sparkle and the same symbolism, but since they have a smooth section of metal on the bottom, a jeweler can easily resize them for you. It's a smart and flexible option!
Are eternity bands comfortable?
Yes, eternity bands are comfortable. It sounds like you might have heard that eternity bands can be tricky to wear, but we’re here to help ease some of your concerns. Comfort is the most important factor when you’re choosing a ring you’ll wear every day, and we believe you should never have to sacrifice comfort for style. To find an eternity band that feels great, keep these things in mind: Sizing is Everything - This is probably the most important thing. Since, in most cases, a full eternity band can’t be resized, it has to fit perfectly. A ring that’s too tight can be uncomfortable and one that’s too loose can spin. Take the time to get accurately sized, and try on different widths and styles to see what feels best. Style Makes a Difference - A low-profile setting, like a bezel-set or channel-set band, will sit flush against your finger and can be much more comfortable for daily wear. (They also won’t snag on a handrail or sweater!) You’ll also want to consider the size of the diamonds—sometimes a ring with smaller stones is more comfortable in a stack. The Right Arrangement - If a full eternity band doesn’t feel right with your wedding set, don’t feel tied to the traditional way of doing things. You can wear it on your right hand to let it be its own bold statement. Ultimately, the goal is to find a balanced and comfortable arrangement that works for you. We’re here to help you navigate all these details and find or make you a beautiful, comfortable ring that’s expertly crafted and will last a lifetime.
Can you use an eternity ring as a wedding ring?
If you want to use an eternity ring as your wedding ring, then you should absolutely do that! The only rule is that you love it, and an eternity band is a fantastic, modern way to celebrate your marriage. More and more couples are opting for an eternity band because it’s a stunning, symbolic choice. A wedding ring represents a love with no end, and a continuous, unbroken circle of diamonds is the most beautiful way to wear that promise. You’re not being “extra” for wanting a ring that adds to the sparkle of your engagement ring. An eternity band can make your ring stack even more sparkly, creating a clean and cohesive arrangement that feels balanced and effortless. Of course, some people consider getting a plain band for more low-key days, but if you’re like us and you love the sparkle, choosing an eternity ring is about investing in a piece that brings you joy every single day. Of course, there are a few things to keep in mind, like getting the right size (since a full eternity band isn’t resizable). But that’s where Rare Colors comes in. Our team is patient and knowledgeable, offering a no-pressure approach. We would love to work with you to find a perfect eternity band that celebrates your love story.
