eternity ring as wedding ring?

Ive decided on a eternity ring, i dont like the way a plain band looks with my engagemenet ring, not chosen the exact one yet but i know its the style that i love.

Go with whatever you love

Go with what you love! Just because it's not 'traditional' doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. Pay for the ring you love and then you'll never regret it.

Go with what you love!!

My ring won't be a traditional wedding ring but I don't care, I love it!!

It doesn't matter. Mine is technically an eternity ring but it was the only one that looked decent with my ER and I loved it.

My ring is a half eternity (diamonds don't go all the way around), I much prefer the eternity rings to the more traditional bands too. I plan on wearing it for the rest of my life, so I made sure I loved it!

A ring is a ring is a ring...what determines if it is an ER, WR, Eternity ring is the function it is given to. That you have a band of precious metal set with precious stones that is given on your wedding day makes it your wedding ring. In years gone by a WR was a plain band but now we have more freedoms and choices. A friend of mine has a diamond and emerald ring for her wedding ring...so go do what makes you happy. The ring is what marks your marriage and is with yu for a long long time, hopefully life, so it should be what you want, nothing else.

As all the girls above have said, go for it! If you make it your wedding ring, then it's a wedding ring!

Definitely buy what YOU want to wear!!

My engagement ring is actually a wedding band; people keep saying to me 'oh, that's not an engagement ring'! but it is to me! It's a band with a strip of diamonds. My WR will be a plain band. Get what YOU like x

Have the ring you love. My WR is more like an engagement ring and will have to be worn on its own. I love rings and will have no problem in sometimes wearing my wedding ring, sometimes my ER, sometimes one of my dress rings from my extensive collection. Don't be tied by convention, I repeat, have the ring you love.

It's more common than you think. Lots of ladies like a bit more colour now, and it gives you the option to have a bit of bling if you dont always wear your engagement ring.

Ultimately, its up to you. But I like it.

I picked an 'eternity ring' for my wedding ring without even realising it. It was only when I looked at the receipt that I noticed it was described as an eternity ring. For something this personal you should definitely go with instinct over tradition!

Have the ring you love! My ring is a traditional wedding ring, but my H can't wear metal for work so his ring is made of a special clay that looks like metal - it cost the huge sum of £25.

At the end of it all this is the one thing that will constantly remind you of your day!

You should have what you want and not let the thought of it not being traditional get in your way!

You should choose what makes you feel the best and if an eternity ring is what you like well I guess you will have an eternity ring as a wedding band.

Thanks all! thats me decided then. ooooh the choices!!

One thing to consider when purchasing an eternity ring as your wedding band (stones that go round the whole ring) is that they are near impossible to change the size of.

I have been married 15 years and have had my wedding band made smaller twice. I also have a beautiful eternity ring that the jeweller informed my husband would need to be remade by them if I needed a smaller or larger one in the future due to the diamonds running round the whole ring. This may be due to the design of the ring as the diamonds are tightly packed but something worth asking when purchasing.

Good point! think a half one will be better for me then. my fingers fluctuate massively through seasons and weight changes.

I thought I'd have a traditional wedding ring but then I fell in love with a half eternity and it looks amazing with my engagement ring! I just don't really suit the plain bands so I know I'd always regret it if I had one!
