An eternity ring usually marks something that has lasted. An anniversary, the birth of a child, a milestone worth remembering. The classic version is a band set with a continuous line of matched stones, most often diamonds, though sapphires, rubies and emeralds turn up plenty.
The 12 jewellers in this category cover both the main formats. A full eternity ring carries stones all the way around the band, while a half eternity ring sets them across the top section only, which can be more comfortable for everyday wear and easier to resize later. Settings range from channel, which protects the stones behind a metal rim, to claw and pavé, which let in more light. Platinum, yellow gold, white gold and rose gold are all standard.
Hatton Garden is a practical place to compare these rings because the workshops sit so close together. You can look at stone matching, setting quality and sizing advice across several benches in one trip. If the ring is meant to sit alongside a wedding band, it is worth lining the two up together, and the jewellers in wedding rings can help with that pairing.
