Set It And Forget It

Fun fact, eternity rings cannot be resized. All those diamonds in all those little settings can’t be moved around much without interfering with integrity. And no one likes a loose diamond.

Eternity FAQ

Are Eternity Bands Uncomfortable?

That depends entirely on your finger, and your eternity ring. Smaller bands with dainty diamonds have little to no finger feel, so if you’ve got extra sensitive fingies, you may want to go small.

Bigger diamonds do have a significant feel between your digits. However, if you love the look, it’s definitely worth the week or two it’ll take you to get used to the feeling. Part of our gorgeoues Eternity rings

Do Diamonds Fall Out Of Eternity Rings?

Not really. With any setting, there is the possibility those little prongs that hold in a diamond can become loose, but taking your ring to the jeweler for a regular cleaning and checkup should prevent any mishaps.

High-key, this is also why we say you should never resize an eternity ring as it will mess with the integrity of those little prongs. But keep in mind, even if you do lose a tiny shiny, popping a new one in its place shouldn’t break the bank.
