Exquisite channel set diamond bands bring precisely the perfect amount of style and sparkle
An engagement ring is the start of the journey of marriage; the channel set diamond wedding jewelry cements the intention. But eternity channel set diamond ring bands are the recognition of the ongoing unity and commitment between husband & wife. Eternity rings are possibly the most romantic symbols of love of all!
Traditionally an eternity ring is one which has at one or more rows of diamonds completely encircling the finger. The gemstones may be pave set, channel set diamond pieces, bar set or even bezel set, but the effect is always one of a dazzling channel of opulence! The presence of diamonds in an eternity band is essential because they are deeply symbolic of hope & purity. As the hardest known natural substance, diamonds also perfectly symbolize the strength of love & devotion between a husband & wife. And the way the diamonds completely go round the finger in a continuous circle of gemstones represents the never ending nature of the love that a husband & wife enjoy together. All of this makes an eternity ring very romantic.
Why not add a splash of color? Amethyst diamond rings make superb choices. Although traditionally reserved for the 6th and 17th wedding anniversaries, an amethyst ring would make a perfect engagement choice for anyone with a February birthday. Diamond opal rings look great on anyone, as do peridot diamond rings, even if your birthday is not in October! And there are many more gemstones which make excellent contemporary engagement rings when accented with diamonds.
But you do not have to have a colored gemstone as the centerpiece of your ring! If you want a completely different look, reverse it and have a white diamond as the central gem and add accents of colored gemstones around it.
Traditionally, eternity rings have been given whenever there is a reason to celebrate & remember the eternal nature of romantic love. Perhaps the most obvious such occasion is a wedding anniversary, & the first wedding anniversary is a particularly popular time to give an eternity band. The anniversary of the wedding proposal or the first meeting might be other suitable events.
However, there are other times too when a husband may want to make his wife feel special, such as the birth of a first child, or when the first child leaves home for college, or indeed any other marked change in the home life of the married couple. & it is also becoming very popular for couples to choose eternity bands as their engagement rings too!
