A full diamond ring typically refers to an eternity band, a ring set with diamonds completely encircling the band, symbolizing everlasting love. Each diamond on the band is usually identical in size and placed symmetrically, creating a continuous circle of sparkle[7].
Eternity bands are especially popular as wedding bands or anniversary rings. They are most commonly slim to maximize comfort and allow for practical wear, although wider versions also exist. The diamonds can be set in various ways, such as fully paved around the band or in channel settings where the metal borders are more visible[7].
The ring’s diamonds may be set using different techniques:
- Pavé setting: Small diamonds are set closely together with minimal visible metal, creating a “paved” effect of continuous shimmer[5].
- Channel setting: Diamonds are sandwiched between two strips of metal, producing a sleek, protected appearance[5].
While “diamond ring” usually brings to mind engagement rings featuring a single center stone, full diamond rings differ because their brilliance comes from the encircling stones rather than a single focal gem. Eternity bands can be worn alone or stacked with other rings, including solitaires or wedding bands, to achieve a variety of looks[7].
