FAQs

1. Why is it called an eternity ring?

It is named for the "infinite loop" of diamonds that encircle the finger. Because the design lacks a starting or ending point, it physically represents a love that is constant, resilient, and everlasting.

2. when do you traditionally give an eternity ring ?

While there are no strict rules, they are most commonly gifted on the 10th, 25th, or 50th wedding anniversary. In modern jewelry culture, they are also the standard gift to celebrate the birth of a first child (often called a "push gift") or a major career milestone.

3. In what order should I wear my engagement, wedding, and eternity rings?

Traditionally, the wedding band goes on first to stay closest to the heart, followed by the engagement ring and then the eternity band. Alternatively, for a balanced look, you can "sandwich" the engagement ring in the middle. The best order is whichever feels most comfortable and secure on your finger.

4. Can you wear an eternity ring on the right hand? 

Absolutely. While many choose to stack it with their wedding set on the left hand, wearing an eternity band on the right ring finger is a popular way to let it stand out as a separate milestone piece.

Absolutely. In modern fashion, an eternity band is often worn as a "right-hand ring" or a statement of self-love and independence. It doesn't always have to represent a romantic partnership.

6. Can I give my girlfriend an eternity ring? 

Yes, it makes a powerful promise ring. Giving an eternity band before marriage signifies a deep, long-term commitment and a promise of a future together.

7. Can you wear an eternity ring instead of a wedding ring? 

Yes, many modern brides prefer an eternity band as their primary wedding ring. Its continuous diamond design offers a more detailed and high-impact look compared to a plain metal band.

Consider the "stacking profile." Choose a band with a similar metal and diamond shape as your engagement ring so they sit flush against each other without any gaps.

Platinum is the gold standard for eternity settings. Because it is a dense, "sticky" metal, it holds tiny diamond prongs more securely than gold over years of daily wear. However, 18K Gold (White, Yellow, or Rose) is an excellent choice for those matching an existing bridal set.

17. Can eternity bands be resized? 

No. Most full eternity bands cannot be resized because the diamonds cover the entire circumference. Removing or adding metal would disrupt the stone spacing and compromise the structural integrity of the settings. Expert Tip: If you are between sizes or expect your finger size to change, we recommend a Half-Eternity Band, which features a solid metal base for easy adjustment.

18. Is an eternity ring a promise ring?

While both symbolize commitment, an eternity ring is a higher-tier investment piece usually featuring precious gemstones around the entire band. A promise ring typically signifies a "pre-engagement" vow, whereas an eternity ring celebrates a lifetime of shared history..

19. How should I care for and maintain my eternity band?

To keep your ring brilliant, clean it regularly with mild soap and a soft brush. Avoid wearing it during heavy activities like gymming or gardening to protect the prongs. We recommend a professional check-up at Dvik Jewels once a year to ensure all diamonds remain securely set.
