Eternity / Anniversary Ring

[Elocin]

Do you have one?

If so, how long had you been married when you got it?

When are they normally given? 1st anniversary? 5th anniversary? Birth of the first child?

TIA

I have one. I got it on our first wedding anniversary, which was also the birth date of our first baby.

Yep. I got it for my birthday, but it's for the birth of DS. We had been married five months XD
I don't think it really matters when they're given

[feeb]

I got 1 just after DS1 was born.

Don't think it matters when you get it!

eternity ring on first wedding anni - he was looking for something else, and found a ring with diamonds set into the band same as my wedder set, so decided that was my gift that year
second anni he gave me another ring (with emeralds and diamonds)
third another (again, emeralds and diamonds)
fourth i got a diamond necklace (i ran out of fingers)
fifth -well, i'm yet to see!

i know a lot of people wait til the birth of their first child, or for the birth of each child (so there is a special something to hand down) - DH gave me a diamond necklace on the birth of our DD, which will be given to her when the time comes

i think it's entirely up to you (as in "you" as a couple)

hmmmm might need to show DH this thread

I was always lead to believe it was on the first wedding anniversary or the birth of the first child......... yep still waiting

[~me~]

Yes I have one. It's supposed to be first anniversary or first baby, whichever comes first. It came about like this as traditionally when a couple got married, they started TTC on the wedding night.
Mine is 18k gold with diamonds half way round it set in white gold.

I went and picked out and put a deposit on mine when we had been married only 7mths and told DH where to pick up in time for our 1st wedding Anniversary

And Jewler actually said better to wear on right.

Does it affect it's function? XD

[feeb]

Haha no I ment just with 1 hand looking very full verses other hand looking bare as I tryed it on both LOL :-P

[helle]

Mine are all mismatched. they don't go together at all but in a funny way they do. I love them just because DH chose them ^^;

We got my eternity ring on our 5th wedding anniversary xxx

[~Kim~]

lol I got mine after DH completely lost my wedding and engagement rings after I had DS. So got it for neither anniversary or birth of babies.
I wear mine on my right hand too.

I am hoping for one for my tenth anniversary, which is this year. Time will tell...

[YoYo]

I got mine after I had DD....it has pink and white diamonds (teeny tiny ones) which matches my wedding band (just white diamonds). He also got it engraved with DD's name and birthdate....which would have been pretty awkward for the jeweller I'd say

I love it! But I guess it didn't coincide with anything traditional!
