How to Choose a ‘Forever’ Ring You’ll Still Love in 20 Years 

How to Choose a ‘Forever’ Ring You’ll Still Love in 20 Years 

A forever ring — whether an engagement ring, eternity band, or milestone piece — should reflect your style now and for years to come. So how do you choose a ring that stands the test of time? 

1. Go timeless over trendy 

Trends come and go, but classic shapes like oval, emerald, or round diamonds in simple settings stay elegant for decades. Consider a solitaire, halo, or trilogy style with subtle detailing. 

2. Prioritise quality materials 

Choose rings made from solid gold or platinum, and opt for lab-grown or ethical natural diamonds (the hardest of all gemstones) that offer durability and lasting brilliance. 

3. Think about your lifestyle 

Love hands-on work, such as gardening? Consider lower-profile settings or rubover designs that won’t catch on things, for the safety of you stone. Remember to choose comfort as well as beauty – perhaps opting for a half-eternity band. 

4. Add personal meaning 

Engraving a date or including a symbolic gemstone – perhaps that of yours or your child’s birth month – can make a forever ring even more meaningful.
