History of diamond eternity rings is as old as that of a ring. Antique eternity rings date back as far as 2000 BC (that is around 4000 years from today). Eternity rings are the rings that have gemstones or diamonds all around the outer surface of gold rim of the ring. The continuous circle of diamonds with no beginning and no end, is a perfect symbol of unending and everlasting eternal love. The diamonds are set on precious metals like white gold, yellow gold or platinum. Diamonds in a row have same cut, color, clarity and size. This is to maintain a particular design along full length of the ring. However, alternative patterns can be introduced in the design of a gold diamond eternity ring.

Full diamond eternity rings can be sized only once and can not be resized, where as half eternity rings can be resized later.
