Half Eternity Ring
Eternity rings are a symbol of everlasting love, and unlike wedding rings there is no precise occasion for which to give this exceptional gift. A half eternity band is regarded as a tangible symbol of the promise to love forever, and it is one of the most romantic ways to show the love of your life how much they mean to you by presenting them with a diamond half eternity ring.
The majority of eternity rings sold are “half eternity rings” which are half hoops where the top of the ring is set with gemstones like diamonds, emeralds, sapphires or rubies and the palm side is precious metal like white or yellow gold or platinum. A 5 stone eternity ring is also a very popular choice and many diiferent options are available to choose from.
Their popularity can be attributed to two factors: firstly a half eternity does not require so many gemstones to be used and can therefore be less expensive; and secondly the underside of an eternity ring takes far more wear and tear and the stones of half diamond eternity bands are protected from the worst of it. Some women also prefer this style since larger stones can be used, and they can maximise the show by concentrating all the diamonds in the visible head or front of the ring.
Because half eternity rings only have stones across the face of the band they are easier to create and to size and this is often reflected in their price, making jewellery eternity rings a very good value item.
Half eternity rings are most commonly set with diamonds, but gemstone combinations such as a diamond and emerald eternity ring or a diamond and sapphire eternity ring are also popular choices as they can also be linked with the birthstone of the wearer.Other options available include a diamond and ruby eternity ring
and a sapphire pink eternity ring.
If you are looking for that something that is a little extra special then there is also a wide variety of platinum half eternity rings to choose from.!
The shape of the stones is very important, with oblong, rectangular or square stones often being preferred to the round brilliant cut which is more usually displayed in a diamond solitaire ring. The reason for this is that square “emerald cut”, princess cut or rectangular cut stones are easier to set end to end around a band which makes them perfect for eternity rings.
