Eternity rings are also called "dress" wedding rings, diamond infinity rings, and diamond bands. Lined with diamonds, eternity bands often appear to be a circle of gemstones. The continuous loop of diamonds is symbolic of unending, eternal love, making them popular gifts for significant occasions in a couple's relationship, such as a monumental anniversary (often 20 years or more), overcoming tremendous obstacles, or celebrating a child's birth. Because of the simplicity of eternity rings, there are fewer design variations than with engagement rings. Nevertheless, there are differences between styles, and couples can choose a setting, metal, shape, or other characteristic to reflect their individual preferences. http://engagementrings.lovetoknow.com/wiki/Eternity_Rings

Many women choose to replace either their wedding band or engagement ring with the eternity ring, rather than wear three separate rings. If the rings are slender and do not look out of proportion with your fingers, however, it is perfectly acceptable to wear an eternity band in addition to other significant rings. Take care that the eternity band's setting is compatible with adjacent pieces, however: uneven settings such as prongs may rub against other rings and cause scratches. Channel settings are the most practical and can fit snugly against other rings without causing damage. Like any delicate jewelry, eternity rings should be removed before household chores, sporting activities, or other potentially hazardous pursuits. www.wisegeek.com/what-are-eternity-rings.htm
