An item of jewellery also associated with important events in our lives is the eternity ring, which symbolises the eternal nature of a relationship with its line of precious stones circling the finger.

There are two occasions for which the giving of an eternity ring has proved a timeless favourite. One is the birth of a first child, reflecting the extra commitment to a relationship that such a momentous event requires. The other is the seventh wedding anniversary – probably to prove that the “seven year itch” isn’t a problem!
