I wear my eternity on the right bc I can usually only deal with one ring per finger. If you get it I wouldn't have it compete with your earring ... I would wear it on the right. One thing to look at .... There seems to be slid metal underneath the stones ... You probably want yo make sure there's a good way to clean underneath the stones or pick a different uprong style.

Ditto. I'd get a 7 stone. That way you can get larger stones (and appreciate the faceting) across the top of your finger where you see it everyday.aca|1460879429|4020340 said:Hi! As an owner of an asscher band I have to say that I would personally avoid an asscher eternity. Asschers are real dirt magnets and I have to clean my band very often to keep the diamonds shining. Diamonds on the inside if the hand would get even dirtier! If I were you I would get a 1/2 or 3/4 band, or even a five or seven stone band with asschers. Asschers look really cool in a band (though I am biased) so I think getting a band is a great idea if youre set on getting asschers.![]()
I have reservations about eternity bands for practical reasons too, but I know many people here like them.![]()

Hmm, where to start...
First of all, wearing a band with stones inside the hand means you cant carry anything with that hand without risking damage to the ring. Carrying a bag against prongs is not safe. Unless the bag is very light in weight and soft! Having stones all the way around also means that the ring is not as sturdy as a ring with a plain band. Think swiss cheese.
I think some may want an eternity to avoid issues with a ring spinning. I think that is problematic because the stones on the underside get dirty so you dont want them up anyway. But then maybe I am crazy ocd re clean diamonds. I have never experienced any problems with spinning so dont really see the problem with that either.
Another problem is the size of the stones. I personally think 0.1 ct is ok, but wouldnt want the stones larger between my fingers because then the depth in combination with the prongs make the ring uncomfortable to wear. So if you want bigger stones, I wouldnt go eternity either.
For me these issues are enough to never consider an eternity, but as I wrote, many people do like them and I agree that they look cool. This is simply my opinion.
