What is an eternity collar?

The term "eternity collar" doesn't refer to a single, universally defined piece of jewelry. Instead, it's a descriptive term that could apply to several types of necklaces, typically sharing these characteristics:

• Continuous Design: The most defining feature is a continuous band of precious metal (usually gold or platinum) encircling the neck. This band often features a continuous line of gemstones, creating a sense of unending elegance. Unlike a necklace with a clasp, it's a single, unbroken loop.

• Gemstones: Eternity collars often feature gemstones set closely together, creating a dazzling effect. Diamonds are the most common choice, but other precious or semi-precious stones could be used. The stones may be all the same, or a mix of colors or sizes.

• Luxury Item: Because of the materials and craftsmanship usually involved, eternity collars are generally considered high-end, luxury jewelry.

• Variations: The design can vary greatly. Some might have a very thin band with small stones, while others feature a wider band with larger, more prominent gems. Some designs might incorporate other decorative elements.

In short, an "eternity collar" is a type of necklace designed to convey lasting beauty and opulence, characterized by its continuous band and often featuring a gemstone setting. It's less a specific named piece and more a descriptive term for a style of luxurious necklace.
