ETERNITY RINGS IN HISTORY

Eternity rings are believed to have been in existence for a far greater time than wedding or engagement rings. This is because they are not used for a specific occasion but to highlight importance and love between those receiving and giving an eternity band. With records dating back to the Egyptians, eternity rings have from then until now come in the form of solid rings or have been embedded with diamonds. A style that we specialise in, here at Voltaire. The diamonds and precious stones are chosen often to symbolise, unity, love and appreciation to the recipient. Stones and diamonds can be chosen to match the styles and character of the individual or to highlight a special period in your life.

Diamonds set within eternity rings have grown in popularity just as it has in most jewellery throughout the world. This is due mainly to how they add to the beauty of many stunning collections. Although often worn between the wedding and engagement bands, there are no main rules to how they are worn. A recipient may wear their band on either hand, place the ring in a special location or wear it around their neck. This is the beauty of the eternity ring its function and purpose can vary from the wearer to the recipient.

DIAMONDS FOR ETERNITY RINGS & WEDDING RINGS

Diamonds are the most popular choice for all important rings due to their beauty, uniqueness, design and colouration. An endurance that can also represent your love to the recipient. If you have bought a diamond engagement or wedding ring you will understand the importance of the diamond cuts, size and shape. For eternity rings there are several staple cuts that are prominent and popular.

• Round brilliant diamonds are commonly found in eternity rings. The most popular of diamond shapes, round brilliant stones provide the amplest light refraction. Often a centrepiece of engagement rings, round brilliants are set within wedding and eternity rings.
• Princess cut diamonds have a square shape. These are used in diamond eternity rings because they can be set close together, forming an almost seamless band of brilliant light across the finger. Ideal for those who love the sparkle of the diamond but wish for a more conservative look.
• Baguette diamond eternity rings can also contain brilliant round diamonds for a band with the vintage-inspired appeal. The Baguette cut is one of the most popular here at Voltaire and one we often recommend to our customers.

We recommend with all our clients that you should look for harmony within your choices, that being, the diamond cuts and precious metals should often be the same throughout your choices. It adds beauty and connection between the rings. Of course, this may not always be possible, but there are other options that up you can choose from. Ireland is home to many famous gemstones, and these can of course be used in the place of other stones.

GEMSTONE RINGS

For those who wish to change things regarding ring collections, that we can also suggest choosing gemstones as a perfect alternative. Following a diamond engagement ring and a solid yellow gold wedding rings, gemstones are a great alternative. Specials stones highlighting important events, birthstones or other precious stone can be set into beautiful rings providing an alternative look. Our Dublin based craftsmen can style your rings with beautiful precious stones making your ring entirely unique to you. Individually crafted jewellery is just one more way of putting your unique touch on your or a significant other jewellery collection. The most common gemstones in eternity rings are rubies, sapphires and emeralds. These are the three most precious gemstones and are harder than other gems, meaning that they are suitable for everyday wear. Gemstones are a great alternative, while diamonds are incredibly beautiful and we have dedicated our craft to them, they may simply not be to an individual’s taste, you make be looking for a new look and an item that can work with specific outfits. This is the beauty of gemstone alternatives.
