This next post is inspired by a clients search for the perfect milestone gift.  With a 50th birthday AND a 25th anniversary on the horizon, she is looking for the perfect way to celebrate and the perfect keepsake to capture the moment.  When asked of my opinion for what to choose, a diamond eternity band was first on my list.  And these four rings are definitely my favorite.

Top left is the classic, quintessential, shared claw set diamond eternity band.  Its simple design allows you to wear it alone or pair it with another.  Each diamond is held by two claws on each side, which are then shared by the diamond next to it (hence the name!).  This feature minimizes the amount of metal that is shown so all you see is diamond, diamond, diamond.

Top right is the dazzling, honey comb pave, diamond eternity band.  Its design is also simple in nature but its sparkle is out of this world.  The round brilliant cut diamonds are honey comb, pave set across a tiffany shaped band.  This means each row of diamonds is staggered with the next, just as you would see in a real live honeycomb.  This special way of setting plays tricks on the eye as you cannot see where one row starts and the other begins.  Resulting in a mass amount of brilliance and a mass amount of flair.

Bottom left is another example of honey comb pave but this one is created across a flat exterior.  It still has the flash and brilliance as the one above but the flat exterior adds a bit more comfort on the hand and a bit more of a contemporary feel.  It also is a modified eternity band, meaning the diamonds are set only 75% of the way around.  This allows for easy sizing and is perfect for the girl who is a little harder on her pieces.

Last but not least, bottom right is the antique styled, pave set, diamond eternity band.  There are more design elements in this beauty as you can see.  A little feminine flare through the center with an open, filigree design.  This gives the band a generous width to the hand and a little something special.  The diamonds are also framed by miligrain detailing, a feature you see most in rings of the past.  It’s a unique spin on a classic piece and one to not be missed.

All in all, whichever gift you choose, you will have a beautiful reminder of the love, laughter, and happiness that you share now and for always.
