What Is an Eternity Ring?

Jewellery has the unique power to capture life’s most meaningful moments, and few pieces are as symbolic as the eternity ring. Whether given as a wedding anniversary gift, a milestone celebration, or a token of lifelong commitment, an eternity ring is a timeless symbol of love that lasts forever.

At Affinity Diamonds, each eternity ring is handcrafted onsite in our Sydney boutique, ensuring exceptional quality and a design that perfectly reflects your personal story.

 

What Is an Eternity Ring?

An eternity ring is a circular band set with a continuous line of diamonds or gemstones, that wrap all the way around the band. The unbroken circle represents eternal love, commitment, and continuity, making it a deeply meaningful gift for a loved one.

Unlike engagement or wedding rings, which mark a particular occasion, eternity rings are often given to celebrate a special milestone in a relationship, such as:

  • A wedding anniversary

  • The birth of a child

  • A personal achievement or milestone worth commemorating

Full vs. Half Eternity Rings

There are two common styles of eternity rings:

1. Full Eternity Ring

  • Gemstones are set all the way around the band

  • Symbolises infinite love and unbroken commitment

  • Requires careful craftsmanship to ensure durability and comfort

2. Half Eternity Ring

  • Gemstones are set along the top half of the band only

  • Offers a more practical design for everyday wear

  • Easier to resize without affecting the overall design

At Affinity Diamonds, we can create both full and half eternity rings tailored to your lifestyle and preferences.

The Beauty of a Handmade Eternity Ring

While eternity rings can be produced through casting, handmade rings — like those crafted in our Sydney boutique — offer unmatched quality, precision, and individuality. Our skilled jewellers meticulously hand-set each stone, ensuring:

  • Perfect alignment of diamonds or gemstones

  • Exceptional craftsmanship and durability

  • A truly unique piece that reflects your love story


  • Can be made to sit flush with an engagement ring by noting down measurements

Every eternity ring from Affinity Diamonds is made onsite, allowing for complete customisation in stone choice, size, setting style, and metal type.

Choosing the Perfect Eternity Ring

Selecting the ideal eternity ring depends on personal taste, lifestyle, and the significance of the gift. Some factors to consider include:

  • Metal type: Platinum, white gold, yellow gold, or rose gold

  • Stone selection: Diamonds are classic, but coloured gemstones can add a personal touch

  • Setting style: Prong, channel, or pavé settings each offer a unique look

  • Ring width: Thinner bands are elegant, while wider bands make a bolder statement

At Affinity Diamonds, we guide you through every choice, ensuring your eternity ring is a flawless symbol of everlasting love.

Why Eternity Rings Are Special

An eternity ring is more than jewellery — it is a meaningful gesture, a timeless expression of love, and a piece that can be treasured for generations. Whether it’s for an anniversary, a milestone, or simply to celebrate your bond, an eternity ring embodies the idea that true love is infinite.
