What does your wedding and eternity ring look like?

After some inspiration - not sure what would look good?

Not helpful but interested to know!

I personally have a round solitaire engagement ring which I wear on my left hand and my wedding ring (bog standard plain gold band) on my right hand.

Would love a 3 stone diamond ring as an eternity

Does this count as a classic solitaire? No eternity ring. Think I have enough bling going on.

This is mine, half eternity band. I have tiny hands so went for a fairly thin band

I wear my eternity ring on my right hand also. The reason is partly that I struggled to find something that looked good with my engagement ring and wedding ring. The main reason is I just wanted something for my other hand so I went for a quite flashy 5 stone ring which looks good by itself. Just tried it on the other hand with the other rings and it looks terrible. I think you would need to go for quite a simple small eternity ring to tie in with the other rings.

These are my rings separately.

This is mine. My wedding band underneath was shaped to fit but they can be bought 'off the peg' now.

My wedding ring is a plain white gold band. I never wear my engagement ring and wedding ring together - seldom wear either!

Lostinspace23 · 18/02/2021 21:02

I chose an antique engagement ring and wanted something a bit different so had the wedding ring designed and made to fit. Still love it years later. I wanted a wedding band that could be worn alone, not one that was shaped only to be worn with the engagement ring.

Straight band is wedding ring and twisty one is eternity ring, work well together for everyday wear.

Ooh thank you - off to google some styles, it’s so hard as I like to see rings and with the shops shut it’s impossible

Wow-that is huuuge! Is that a diamond?!
CherryRoulade · 18/02/2021 21:20

Yes, a diamond on gold. He saved hard for it.

My rings are very simple Smile white gold + white sapphire (I did not want an expensive ring!!) with a 2 mm white gold court style wedding band.

I have a classic solitaire engagement ring with a plain band, plus a eternity band which has approx 20 small diamonds around half of it.

Littleguggi · 18/02/2021 21:34

I never know what order to wear them in though

They won’t actually fit on my giant pregnant sausage fingers at the moment but I got a band from the same designer as my engagement ring so it matches exactly

@CherryRoulade do you know what carat? If you don’t mind me being nosey! LOVE the gold. Want to drop some serious hints... Grin

jobjob1 · 18/02/2021 21:38

@Gwegowygwiggs wow! Stunning.

faerveren · 18/02/2021 21:40

@BlairWaldorfLovesShopping I love your eternity ring

minnie465 · 18/02/2021 21:41


This is my engagement ring and wedding band. Wedding band is half eternity. I'd love an eternity ring for my right hand. I'd like a five stone one. DH ignoring all hints.
