Can you use an eternity ring as a wedding band?

Answer 1

Traditionally a full eternity ring is given from a husband to his wife on the birth of their first child or on their first anniversary (whichever comes first).

There is no rule to say an eternity ring CANNOT be used as an engagement ring but bear in mind the following;

1) Full eternity rings cannot be adjusted should the girl gain or lose weight at any point in her life. This is because stones go all the way around. Perhaps a half eternity ring would be better.

2) Once that critical birth of baby or first wedding anni comes along, what ring will be given then?

Personally, my engagement ring is a triology ring (three stones representing past, present and future). It's gorgeous and meaningful because of the 3 stones.

FORGET TRADITION, DO WHAT YOU AND YOUR FIANCE WANT. Trust me, you will need to learn the art of saying "our way or the highway" in the run up to your wedding.

Answer 2

Eternity bands can absolutely be used as a wedding band. This is a popular trend as we have been seeing engagement rings that have continuous diamond bands that go entirely around the finger. They make for a beautiful display of never ending diamonds and symbolize continuous love.

Answer 3

You can use whatever ring you like. I am using my promise ring from college.

Diamonds are getting more and more popular in wedding rings now, we believe that you will be wearing the ring for a long time so make sure its one you will love for a lifetime!

Traditionally wedding rings are plain bands, designed for comfort. Wedding bands with a channel set diamond band are becoming popular. Ultimately eternity rings are given on a special occassion in a persons life, and that can easily be a wedding day. In the end everyone is free to choose exactly what type of ring they want for their wedding day it doesn't have to be traditional. It's your day afterall.

Answer 4

An eternity ring (sometimes referred to as an anniversary ring or band) is a ring style that has diamonds going around the entire outside circumference of it. Because the diamonds don't stop at a certain point, as they commonly do in most diamond bands, this style is referred to as an "eternity ring" (which is generally given as an anniversary gift).

Almost every ring can be made into an eternity ring as long as the stones go entirely around the band. Rings that are not "eternity" can be retrofitted by adding diamonds/gemstones to the missing parts of the band. Also, keep in mind eternity rings can't be resized if your ring size changes which is an important factor to consider with eternity bands.
