A common question we receive is what colour should your eternity ring be? And the answer is, there is no right or wrong colour! Your eternity ring can be fashioned in any gemstone or diamond that your heart desires.
Today, we will be exploring green eternity rings through the beauty of emeralds.
In ancient times, emeralds, much like rubies, were considered to embody love in its fullest form. The colour green represents vitality and new beginnings, so it’s no wonder emeralds have strong connotations of eternal love.
In Egyptian mythology, emeralds are symbols of immortality and rebirth. There couldn’t be a better pairing than emeralds and an eternity ring, a true representation of an infinite bond, that goes beyond just a name. Feeling inspired?

Understanding the meaning of eternity rings, including their significance and popularity, is essential. Eternity rings represent a forever bond between you and your loved one, traditionally symbolised by a band featuring a full row of diamonds, signifying endless love with diamonds that have no endpoint. However, a recent trend has emerged with half-eternity rings, where diamonds adorn only the face of the band. Some wearers find this design more comfortable between the fingers, as opposed to the potentially uncomfortable full eternity band, but this completely depends on the wearer. Check out our extensive selection of full and half-eternity rings on our website.
So, when did eternity rings first come about? Well, impressively they can be traced back 4,000 years to the ancient Egyptians who gifted them as a token of eternal life and love. In fact, the most significant eternity ring in this time was a design depicting a snake eating its tail, known as the ‘ouroboros’. The devouring of its tail represented the infinite cycle of life and death.
In the 1960s, eternity rings gained popularity and became widely sought after, with many jewellers far and wide encompassing eternity rings in their marketing campaigns which contributed to the adoption of these beautiful pieces.
Fast forward to today, the eternity ring has kept their romantic value of a forever promise. They are most commonly gifted to partners to commemorate a milestone such as 5th or 10th anniversaries. As well as this, there has been a rise in eternity rings being gifted as promise rings before an engagement.
