Eternity ring instead of wedding band?

MellieMoo, 31 October, 2014 at 19:06 Posted on Planning 0 9

My engagement ring is very simple, just yellow gold with one small, square cut diamond. i absolutely love it but would like something a bit more sparkly on my finger so was thinking of having an eternity ring instead of the traditional wedding band. Something like this http://www.brilliance.com/sites/default/files/rings/diamond-eternity-wedding-ring-yellow-gold-details-1_0.jpg

I don't really know the etiquette of rings. Would it go or not, and does it have to be gold?

    If you wanted something more sparkly you can have some very sparkly wedding rings Smiley smile.

    My engagement ring is a stone surrounded by diamonds set in the band - so i've bought my wedding ring to match with diamonds set in the band.

    Bit elaborate but I'm training to be a nurse so i will rarely get to wear my engagement ring so i got a blingy wedding ring haha.

    Ooh, pretty :-) I definitely think that would work! It isn't that different to my wedding ring, diamonds set in it, so why not? My engagement ring is probably the more unconventional of my two rings. I don't think we're as bound by tradition anymore. The only thing is to make sure the metals are the same so you don't risk one affecting the other. go for what makes you happy!

    If that's what you want, then go for it. My wedding ring is a really ornate vine design with lots of sparkly diamonds. There's no rule that says your wedding ring has to be a plain band anymore.

    I've seen 'wedding ring's that look exactly like eternity bands, not sure what the difference is really! Mine will probably be an eternity band as I want it to include topaz to match my engagement ring Smiley smile

    I think your wedding ring can be exactly what you want. Most people look at mine and assume my engagement ring is my wedding ring as it is larger and isnt a traditional solitaire but a band. It doesnt bother me. I love my rings just as they are ?

    I work for Smooch rings in my spare time and have had loads of brides choose half eternity style bands as their wedding ring.

    Its interesting to see all the lovely engagement rings out there are generally enhanced with a band of tiny diamonds although plain bands work well too.

    Have fun choosing x

    My wedding ring is technically an eternity ring but a plain one didn't look right at all with my engagement ring.

    Have whatever ring looks best and makes you happy!

    Any ring, no matter what metal, stones or name it might be given becomes your engagement, wedding or eternity ring if that's what you choose to wear it as - simple as. Have the ring you want to be your wedding ring. In the past the tradition was for a plain metal band, usually yellow gold, then fashions brought in white gold, now platinum etc. The addition of diamonds to wedding rings is becoming very popular but at the end of the day, it's put on your finger on your wedding day so it is your wedding ring. x
