In the excitement of selecting engagement rings and wedding rings many couples or individuals don't stop to think about how eternity or anniversary rings can be combined with the wedding set. These additional rings are very popular and very beautiful, a great addition to any wedding rings, providing the set will match.
Most anniversary or eternity rings are given as gifts by the husband to the wife and are worn as a third ring with the engagement and wedding rings. Since there are so many different styles, most wedding ring sets will match one or more anniversary rings as well.
Anniversary rings and eternity rings are meant to be a symbol of the ongoing love between the couple. They are often rather understated when compared to elaborate engagement rings. They are, however, often more ornate than wedding bands, especially if the bands are very simple in their design.
Channel set styles are very popular for these types of rings. The diamond chips, often alternated with other types of precious and semi-precious stones such as emeralds, sapphires and rubies, are set into a moderately deep channel within a simple gold or platinum band. The channel is designed to both hold the stones and reflect light, producing a natural sparkle and dazzle.
Pave style rings with their encrusting of diamonds over part or the entire band are also very common in anniversary or eternity rings. These rings are popular since they match very well with both more ornate engagement rings and wedding bands as well as the more classic and elegant simpler styles.
For a setting that is flush with the surface of the wedding rings or anniversary bands the bezel style is always popular. Often the diamonds, which are slightly larger in size, are placed in a pattern around the band. Each diamond catches and reflects light for a beautiful display.
Princess cut diamonds and emerald cut diamonds are popular in anniversary bands and rings. Since these cuts tend to sparkle and reflect light, they are ideal for the more streamlined bands. Choosing a cut is the same as the diamonds in the wedding rings is not always essential, but they should match and look like a set.
Finding a perfect match for the eternity or anniversary ring and the wedding rings is not as important as finding rings that compliment each other. Often if couples take the time to talk to the jeweler when looking at wedding rings they can discover what options are available to add on to the wedding set later.
