When do you buy an eternity ring​?

Deciding When do you buy an eternity ring to your partner is often a topic of debate, and this uncertainty can sometimes make people hesitant about choosing the right moment. However, there is no single rule for gifting eternity rings.


Marlow's Diamonds, a renowned Diamond Jewellery Specialist in the UK, offers expert guidance on buying eternity, engagement wedding, and engagement rings. We strive to provide you with all the information you need to make informed decisions about your jewellery purchases.


Buy occasionally 

Traditionally, some people buy an eternity ring for significant milestones, like the birth of a first child or a wedding anniversary. However, an eternity ring can be given at any time, making it a versatile symbol of love and commitment. Whether it is a birthday, an anniversary, or simply a gesture of love, an eternity ring can capture the moment beautifully. This simply indicates the emotion which is a big reason for buying the eternity ring.


A Marriage Alternative

An eternity ring is a powerful symbol of everlasting love and devotion. If you and your partner have chosen not to marry, a half-eternity ring or infinity ring could be a meaningful alternative to express your commitment. It is a promise of your undying love and a beautiful way to show your partner you will be by their side forever.


Pairing with a Wedding Ring

If you are already married and looking to buy an eternity, consider choosing a design that complements your partner’s wedding band. It is also helpful to refer to a ring size chart beforehand to ensure the new ring fits comfortably alongside existing pieces. Since the eternity ring is typically worn on the same finger as the wedding ring, the third finger on the left hand, it is essential to match the style, colour, and setting for a harmonious look.

No matter the reason behind purchasing a diamond eternity ring, your partner is sure to appreciate the thoughtful and romantic gesture. At Marlow’s, we offer an exquisite range of eternity rings to suit every style and budget. From classic white gold to timeless gold half-eternity rings, the collection ensures you will find the perfect piece.
