Eternity Rings

Choosing a White Gold Eternity Ring

August 23, 2009 – 11:45 am

Classically, eternity rings are comprised of diamonds all around a simple band.

White gold works well with this ‘white on white’ eternity ring theme to create a clean clear ring of sparkle all around your finger. An eternity ring is not meant to be a large showpiece. Eternity rings are intimate representations of the affection between two people, be they lifelong friends or lovers. Therefore, to retain the private understated elegance that goes with the nature of these specific rings a white gold eternity ring will be the choice you may decide upon.

• A full eternity ring, a half eternity ring, an emerald eternity ring, or a ruby eternity ring can be made from white gold; however the best final jewelry products for white gold are diamond and emerald ring.
• Ruby rings are best set in gold if they are deep red or tend toward blue, however lighter rubies and a pink ruby heart ring may be an excellent choice for white gold as well.
• Gold is less common for the full eternity rings, which are studded with gems all the way around, but the half eternity ring or the three stone eternity ring is used for weddings and therefore come in yellow gold as well as white gold and platinum.

There are some exquisite contemporary choices such as:

• Plumeria eternity ring in 14K White Gold which will cost about $275
• Or the 14k white gold Milgrain diamond stackable ring for around $350

Add a pair of diamond chandelier or stud earrings and have a totally elegant look for evening or as an outstanding present. Also the matching sets and earrings go well with an eternity engagement or wedding ring set in diamond and white gold to match the whiteness of your bridal gown.

Diamond eternity bands and engagement ring jewelry may also be used for YOU without being given as gifts. They are so subtle and classic they work well to accent simple black cocktail dresses.

• A fine choice may something like the Ross-Simons eternity band in 14kt white gold or under $400, because it’s slim with tapered diamonds. For a more high fashion look stack a few rings together!

A great present, and very traditional, is a diamond eternity wedding anniversary ring in white gold. These can cost about $400 to $4,000 for good quality.

• There’s a magnificent ring called the Gala, which is an 18K white gold eternity ring with channel and pave-set diamonds from Blue Nile for about $1,600. It’s good quality and can be purchased online.

To add some color you can choose ruby and white sapphire eternity ring combinations as an alternative to pure diamonds. A good to medium quality ring like this in white gold (or yellow gold) will start about $400.

• For anniversary or wedding eternity rings that are “Comfort-Fit” you might want to check into Sea of Diamonds that seem to be good value at under $400 also. They have a diamond and sapphire wedding ring (in the style of an eternity ring) that are quite unique.
• For mens rings try a Benchmark blue sapphire 14k white gold eternity ring for about $675.
• Heavenly Treasures may be a name to keep in mind since they have a white gold eternity ring with shared double prong setting and full diamond all the way around the band for under $1,300.
