Eternity & Memory Ring: Meaning & Variants

ETERNITY DUET GRANDE RING
Eternity, memory or memoire ring – a piece of jewelry for eternity
Some moments deserve to be preserved forever. Etertniy rings are made for just that: Each individual diamond represents a significant moment – a promise, a birth, an anniversary, a silent memory, a milestone.
Whether as a stacking ring, a wedding ring, or simply for yourself: Our eternity rings made of 18K recycled gold are handmade on request – sustainable, individual, timeless.
Memoire or eternity ring: What lies behind the meaningful design?
A memoire ring—also known as an eternity ring or memory ring —is a ring set with small diamonds. Depending on your preference:
- completely enclosed
- 1/2 framed
- 3/4 framed
IMPORTANT: 1/2 and 3/4 set versions are not only more comfortable for everyday use, but also allow for later size adjustment – a practical advantage, especially for rings with personal meaning.
Diamonds symbolize timeless moments. Therefore, they are often given as gifts for:
- Birth of a child
- Engagement or wedding: as engagement ring, wedding ring, wedding ring
- Anniversary or special milestone
- as a modern & timeless keepsake just for YOU
Where do you wear a memory ring?
A memoire ring can be worn in many ways:
- As a wedding ring – especially in combination with a solitaire engagement ring
- As a stacking ring – for example in front of or behind a classic ring
- As a stacking ring – stacked with other delicate rings for an individual look
- Right or left?
In Germany, the wedding ring is worn on the right hand. Wearing it on the left is often a sign of personal importance or a style choice.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about Eternity & Memory rings
What is the difference between memoire, memory and eternity rings?
All three terms essentially describe the same piece of jewelry: a ring set with a row of small diamonds. The differences usually lie only in their linguistic origins – Memoire (French), Memory (English), Eternity (symbolic of "eternal").
What is an Eternity?
In jewelry, an eternity ring is a ring with diamonds set all around – a symbol of endless love or eternal connection.
What is a stacking ring?
A stacking ring is worn directly in front of (or behind) another ring—for example, as a complement to an engagement ring. Memoire rings are ideal for this because they are delicate and visually enhance the main piece.
What are memoire rings?
Rings with a series of gemstones, usually diamonds, that capture special memories. They are also known as eternity rings or memory rings.
When do you give a memory ring?
A memory ring is often given as a gift on important occasions—such as the birth of a child, an anniversary, a wedding, or as a very personal gift to oneself. Each stone symbolizes a special moment.
Where do you wear a memory ring?
Depending on meaning and style:
– as a stacking ring on the ring finger of the left hand
– as a wedding ring on the right
– or combined with other fine rings as a stack, as you prefer💛
What does it mean if you wear the ring on the right?
In many European countries (e.g., Germany), this is the traditional side for the wedding ring. But it can also simply be your personal style—ultimately, what matters is what feels right for you.
Can you wear a memory ring as a wedding ring?
Yes, many couples deliberately choose a memory or eternity ring as their wedding ring – because it carries their shared story forward with every stone. It can be beautifully combined with a solitaire ring or worn on its own.
What does the capacity (half, ¾ or full) mean?
The setting describes how far the diamonds run around the ring.
- Fully set rings sparkle all around and appear particularly luxurious.
- Half or ¾ framed ones have a decisive advantage:
➡ They allow for later resizing if necessary without damaging or removing diamonds.
Why does Ilikoez use lab diamonds?
Because they're ethically sourced, transparent, and just as durable as natural diamonds. And you don't have to compromise on quality, size, or shape. We rely on sustainably certified, high-quality lab-grown diamonds – for conscious luxury.
Are lab diamonds real?
Yes – they are made of the same material as natural diamonds and are physically, chemically, and optically identical. They are simply mined in laboratories instead of mines.
