Diamond Eternity Rings

Celebrate an Anniversary or Other Special Event with an Eternity Ring

By , About.com Guide

Traditional eternity rings have a continuous row of diamonds or other gemstones that completely encircle a band, signifying never-ending love. Eternity rings are often given as gifts for an anniversary or other special event, but they're versatile, and can be used as a wedding band or to replace an engagement ring.

Diamonds aren't an essential eternity ring ingredient. Not everyone likes diamonds, and colored gemstones can make a bold statement. This delicate-looking eternity ring is created by placing 37 round topazes in an 18K white gold setting. It can be worn by itself or stacked with rings set with other colored gems. Several different gemstones are available, so how about choosing her birthstone, or the birthstones of her children? Priced at $520.
