Eternity and So Much More!

Most of our customers seem to overlook the versatility of the eternity band. Since we just got this lovely new band, we wanted to try and set the record straight of this great genre of bands :) Which band made us want to rectify this?
This beautiful leaf designed band - isn't it so pretty?! The "leaf" sections of the band are actually clusters of small round diamonds that are set to make the leaf shape and they are separated by bezel set round diamonds. The band has a combined weight of 0.85 carats in this size 7.5. This band just deserves to be worn and loved, and it was a great candidate to show the different ways you can wear eternity bands.
First off, we have the time honored classic - an eternity band next to a 0.82 carat round diamond solitaire. The glory of this combo is that is really will match anything else you wear. We've accessorized it here with a simple 3 ctw diamond tennis bracelet, but really the options are endless!
If you're a fan of a little more pizazz in your engagement ring, you could choose something like this 1.03 ct radiant cut yellow diamond ring. The ring is 18 karat and 22 karat gold with another 0.97 carats in the side diamonds - plus the center diamond is bezel set to add extra security. This engagement ring works for one simple reason - it has a shelf style halo. The "shelf style" means that the band is able to tuck under the halo area, giving you the freedom to pair it with any band that has a flat edge. We accessorized this combo with a beautiful antique hand-cut filigree bracelet, giving this look a great balance of vintage and modern style.
If you're more the customer who likes to change things up easily, why not use the eternity band as a stacker? Here we have the eternity band with a simple 1/2 ctw diamond band and a 2 mm plain gold band on either side. The glory of this combo is that you can change it up at any moment! Don't feel like wearing all three? Just wear the band alone, or with only the plain band if you'd like to tone things down a bit. Want a different look a few years later? It's much less expensive to purchase a new side band than to change out your entire wedding set if you went the traditional engagement ring route. This combo also would work beautifully for a right hand ring! We accessorized the stacker set with a simple but elegant Bulova watch (#96R137), giving this a great "everyday" sort of look. You can dress it up or down as you please :)
The final look we put together is what I think is the most elegant. This band is a wonderful addition to this Gabriel & Co engagement ring (style number ER5375) with a 1.28 ct center diamond and another 0.44 carats on the sides. This engagement ring has a fairly flat side and a shelf style halo, letting the band slide just under the engagement to look like a set. The band is set in a similar style to the engagement ring (micro pavĂ©), so the rings still look like they belong together even though the  come from different designers. To amp up the elegance of this look, we accessorized it with a simple  6-7 mm Akoya pearl bracelet - always a classic look!
As you can see, an eternity band can be so much more than just sitting by itself! This simple designed band is much more versatile than most would give it credit for.
