Eternity Ring! Do you wear one!

I wear my (half) eternity ring all the time. I thought half eternity was long enough.
I had to have it made because of the small size, F and a half, but I've had my money's worth - about forty five years so far. It was instead of an engagement ring and is still a little loose but the wedding ring stops it coming off.

I have 2, one DH bought me years ago after all 3 children and a new one which was for our 40th anniversary - I must confess that I actually chose it as he'd bought me some ruby and diamond earrings which I didn't like! Luckily the jewellers had a ring I liked for a similar price. I wear that one every day

I don't wear rings at all, not even my wedding ring which was purely ceremonial, just not a jewellery person

I used to wear an eternity ring which was particularly precious as DH bought it for me not long before he died. Sadly, I had to get it cut off in A&E when I suffered a nasty fall along with my wedding ring. Now that the swelling has gone down properly I'd like to get it repaired if it's possible.

I have an eternity ring, my husband bought it for me some months after the birth of our second child together in 2006 (I have an older daughter from my first marriage). It was meant to be "for eternity" but our marriage was rocked horribly by his affair ten years later. We are working through that and something I always regretted was that I never got an engagement ring - we agreed to get married in 2001 and 6 weeks later went along to the registry office, although I had quite an intricate wedding ring so never felt the need for another ring on that finger.

As part of our "recovery", I asked for a diamond ring to act as an "engagement" ring (I am not a massive jewellery person but do like rings!) so I now have a full set - although my wedding ring isn't my original one as I had to have that cut off some years ago as it was getting too tight.

Yes. I have an emerald and diamond eternity ring (very small stones, not expensive) which my husband gave me on our 25th anniversary. It will be 50 this year so I've had it nearly 25 years, incredibly. I started wearing it above my wedding band a few years ago and have stuck with it. I didn't have the kind of engagement ring you can wear with a wedding ring.

My fingers are too fat to wear mine now, is it expensive to get it widened?

Yes, DH bought it for me when DS1 was tiny, he came along in a baby carrier when we went to chose. Mine is not a conventional one, it has circles of little diamonds and sapphires on top with a sapphire in the middle. I don't wear it very often, only on special occasions but it makes me feel very happy thinking about how it was DHs idea to say a big thank you to me after all I went through ( not much in the greater scheme of things) having the baby.

I wear my mother's eternity ring, always. Instead of a wedding ring following my divorce many years ago.

Jeweller told us that it’s given on the birth of a first born son to represent the family surname going on to “eternity”.

Quite exquisite Maywalk and special.

That's absolutely beautiful, Maywalk And what a fabulous story. Definitely priceless.

I have a sapphire half hoop bought several years ago. I only wear my rings when go out my fingers are painful and swollen and its more comfortable without them. I dont wear any jewellery in bed so everything necklace, bracelet comes off then too.

Coastpath ?

I love your brooch too Maywalk. It’s unique and meaningful to you both. I like that.

Himself bought me a really beautiful diamond eternity band when I had our first girl at the age of 23 years. We had a mortgage to pay and I wasn’t working so he chose it from the ‘Grattan” catalogue.
?

It’s actually very pretty. I do occasionally still wear it.

Maywalk your brooch is beautiful.

Many thanks Redhead.
It is worn at every family celebration plus hubbys birthday and our weddng anniversary day plus Fathers Day. It is now over 74 years ago since he made it for me.
Its worth nothing, but to me its worth more than the crown jewels because he made it specially for me when he knew of my allergy and if that piece of perspex had a voice what thrilling and wonderful tales it would tell of all the battles it had fought in.

Maywalk your brooch is beautiful.

I have a ruby and diamond one. DH bought it for me when our oldest DS got married. I think he saw the massive engagement ring that DS had given his wife and felt a bit guilty about the rather overshadowed (but much loved) one he had given me 30 years earlier!

I don’t have an eternity ring . I have a wedding band and engagement ring.
I don’t wear them at home and sometimes forget to put them on when I go out. I’d rather forget my rings than my mascara.

My husband gave me a lovely eternity ring on our 25th anniversary. I wear it on my right hand. It is a bit chunkier than my dainty engagement and wedding rings, and comfortable to wear.

I wasn't really expecting it, and it really isn't like him to spend on jewellery, but I think his sister pushed him towards the idea. She is lovely and always loves a grand gesture.

I have a ring from my mother, and one from mother in law as well, so I will sometimes swap out my right hand ring.

I am allergic to any metal or gold and was married for 67 years and could not wear my wedding ring although my hubby bought me an engagement and wedding ring. He finished up making me a brooch out of a Halifax Bomber windscreen that had been on many bombing missions during WW2 as shown because it would not be against my skin.

My engagement ring is art deco Ceylon sapphire and diamonds. My wedding ring and eternity ring were designed and made so they all fit together.

Yes, LG, I wear brooches. Change them depending on outfit, of course.

I don't wear any jewellery at all (haven't worn a wedding ring for 38 years) due to an allergy to nickel I developed in my late 20s

I wear mine regularly. Mr MM had an eternity ring made for me for our first wedding anniversary. We went out for lunch leaving our 3 month old daughter with MiL. He presented me with the ring while we were having a celebratory drink at the hotel. It was lovely.
