Moissanite Eternity Band, 2mm or 3mm in 925 Silver

An eternity band carries stones the whole way round, which is the point and also the thing to think about. There is no plain back to turn inward, so the ring looks the same however it rotates on the finger, and it never ends up facing the wrong way after a day's work. The trade off is that the stones sit against whatever your hand touches, so build quality and stone hardness carry more weight here than on any other ring.

Every stone is D colour, VVS1 clarity moissanite, and the ring comes GRA certified. On a full line of small stones, consistent colour is what separates a good band from a cheap one, because any stone that runs warm shows up immediately beside its neighbours. Hardness matters just as much. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale moissanite shrugs off the daily contact with worktops and door handles that leaves softer stones looking scuffed within months.

Two widths are offered in three finishes. The 2mm band is slim enough to stack two or three deep, or to sit beside an engagement ring without crowding it, and it is the more comfortable option if you work with your hands. The 3mm reads as a ring in its own right and holds up worn alone. White gold, yellow gold and rose gold plating are all available on 925 sterling silver. Sizes run from 5 through 10 in half steps.
