Show me your eternity ring!

I am getting an eternity ring for a significant anniversary soon but can't quite decide what I want. I have size i ring fingers and anything too wide looks daft-especially the full eternity rings or even the half (7stone) ones, so was thinking maybe a 5 stone one? In platinum or white gold but can't find anything exactly right.

I like this picture but it's an American site and made of zirconia anyway.

Do you have a beautiful eternity ring for me to look at? Do you love it??

Mine is a channel set gold half band that is shaped around my engagement ring. Band has 5 sapphires and 4 diamonds. Was designed by local jewellery independent shop.

ClosedAuraOpenMind · 21/01/2017 23:41

this is mine.....just over 5 yrs old. no idea of carat weight but i love the way the size of the diamonds fluctuates.
i'd lived it for ages, and the year that DD was born was my 40th. DH emailed the designers as i've got quite an unusual finger size. they emailed back to say they'd stopped making it Sadbut then a few days later they said they'd found one last remaining one....although it was quite an unusual size. of course it turned out to be my size (k1/2 if you want to know) so it was meant to be

NotMoreFootball your ring is beautiful. Where did you get it?
It looks really expensive.

rollonthesummer · 22/01/2017 15:43

Is k 1/2 an unusual size? I wonder what usual sizes are.

Thank you for all the lovely pictures-they have been fab to see. I have found a wondering ring now! It's platinum, 5 stones, low set, 1 carat diamonds in total and very very shiny! It's being resized to an i at the moment but I will post a photo when I get it in a few days :)

hmmm i don't know - that was what the jewellers said. i guess it is quite small, and not everywhere does 1/2 sizes

anyway i was lucky because it was the very last one and it happened to be my size Grin

Oxfordblue · 22/01/2017 20:22

Mines a 1/2 eternity, princess cut to match my engagement ring. Jeweller advised no point in buying a full eternity as the diamonds would be knocked a lot. I'm really pleased with it as had my engagement ring re-set a few years ago & felt my wedding ring looked a bit chunky. Which was fine all those years ago!

Just out of interest-did you have your engagement ring re-set in a different coloured metal?

Oxfordblue · 22/01/2017 22:48

no, always 18 ct gold, but was on a thicker band. This one is about 4mm & has tapering next to the stone.

NotMoreFootball · 23/01/2017 03:51

hollyisalovelyname thank you, I bought it in the US but it's by a European designer, Henri Daussi, so he may have UK stockists too

WhereTheFuckIsMyFuckingCoat · 23/01/2017 04:29

My dh actually thought I said 'maternity ring' and thought I was making it up! When I did finally get one, it was to celebrate finishing 16mths of chemo so it's really special to me!

I usually wear wedding, engagement, eternity, but notice a lot of you wear wedding, eternity, engagement. Which should it be, does anyone know. I've attached two photos (horrible hands), can anyone say which way looks better maybe?

Thank you NotMore. It is very unusual. And huge !!! Smile

Wherethe
The first pic is nicer.
Wedding
Eternity
Engagement
Your hands are lovely.
You should see mine!!!

Aderyn2016 · 23/01/2017 07:40

I prefer the first way Where. I wear wedding, eternity, engagement because I think it looks better on me. There is no rule though - I think it just depends on the design of the rings and how they sit.

MartinRohdesBellybuttonFluff · 23/01/2017 07:52

I have mine on in this order because when the two rings with diamonds are on my finger together they don't sit well. I take them off in the order they came to me - engagement, wedding band and then eternity (which is something a jeweller mentioned to me before).

beargrass · 23/01/2017 07:55

Another vote for Ingle and Rhode! They did my engagement ring and both our wedding rings. My wedding ring looks a bit (OK, quite a lot!) like an eternity ring so that counts me out of this one, sadly. But I&R are really good

WhereTheFuckIsMyFuckingCoat · 23/01/2017 08:12

Thank you holly and Aderyn. I'm trying that way for a while, but am tempted to try Martin's way too as I love things being in order. Blush

firsttimemum15 · 23/01/2017 08:13

AliceSmith yours is beautiful. It sits perfectly with engagementn and wedding ring. Its my favw that ive seen and doesnt look too much as all 3 together...its stunning

WhereTheFuckIsMyFuckingCoat · 23/01/2017 08:18

I love Alice's too, they fit perfectly! I think my sis may have the same engagement ring.

Right, here's option 3 Grin

kel12345 · 23/01/2017 13:32

I wear wedding, eternity, engagement. Purely because I think they look better that way. Because my wedding ring is so narrow, having the eternity ring next to it looks better I think, then the engagement ring last.
I'll show a pic with both and see what you all think:

What do people think about mine

minipie · 23/01/2017 16:51

Aaaaahhhh because of this thread I've just spent the afternoon googling eternity rings instead of working!

I especially like the super slim ones like millicent's

MartinRohdesBellybuttonFluff · 23/01/2017 16:59

WhereTheFuck I think your first arrangement is the nicest.

kel12345 I think the first is the nicest too.

Lots of lovely rings.
