When it comes to rings, you’ve probably seen plenty of oversized center stones and ultra-trendy designs. But we’re here to remind you that not every ring needs to be loud to make a statement. An eternity band, on the other hand, can still catch eyes without feeling overdone or expected.

These bands are classic for a reason. They blend beautiful design with real meaning. That endless circle of diamonds? It represents lasting love or commitment, whether it’s a promise to someone else or yourself. And if you’re thinking about getting one, Diamond Mansion is definitely a name to know. Their jewelry is handcrafted in LA, thoughtfully designed, and built to last. Ahead, we’re breaking down exactly why Diamond Mansion should be your go-to for an eternity band.

What is An Eternity Band, Exactly?

An eternity band is typically made of gold or platinum, with a line of diamonds or gemstones encircling the entire ring. No beginning, no end. That unbroken circle has come to represent enduring love or an unbreakable promise, which is why these bands are often used as wedding bands or given for anniversaries or personal milestones.

But their appeal isn’t only metaphorical. Eternity bands are also remarkably versatile. Some people pair them with an engagement ring as a wedding band. Others wear them alone, letting the design speak for itself. Increasingly, couples are choosing eternity bands in place of traditional engagement rings—an understated, chic choice that feels both modern and timeless.

The best rings share a few essential elements: precise settings, high-quality stones, and craftsmanship that lasts. Diamond Mansion upholds each of these standards in every piece. Their team crafts every eternity band in-house in Los Angeles and selects only diamonds they’ve personally vetted for quality. You never have to worry about a subpar stone slipping through. They rigorously inspect every diamond and reject thousands that don’t meet their standards before finalizing a design.

Choosing an Eternity Band That Reflects Your Style

Diamond Mansion thoughtfully designs or custom-crafts every eternity band to your unique vision. From the type of metal and setting to the diamond shape and carat weight, each detail can be refined to subtly transform the entire aesthetic of the ring. Whether your style leans clean and minimalist or bold and artistic, there’s a version that will feel just right.

They don’t have to shine solo, either. Eternity bands happen to be a dream for stacking. You can wear one alongside your engagement ring and wedding band for a layered, cohesive look. You can stack multiple bands together—matching or not—for extra impact. Or pair one with other rings already in your collection to create something that feels entirely your own. There’s an effortless versatility in how they fit in, stand out, or evolve with your style over time.

Why You Should Choose Diamond Mansion for Eternity Bands

Their stones are rigorously screened, their pricing is straightforward, and their jewelry experts strive to treat you like family. They also offer fair, direct-to-you pricing with no hidden surprises, because they believe luxury shouldn’t come with hidden markups.

Importantly, their process is handled entirely in-house, which means fewer unknowns and more control over quality. The result is jewelry that feels intentional—both in how it’s made and in how it’s worn. And providing even more comfort, Diamond Mansion offers a lifetime warranty. Each piece is backed by a lifetime warranty, 30-day returns, and free shipping—because forever should come with confidence.

Eternity bands offer the best of both worlds, as equal parts stylish and sentimental. And when it’s made with real care—thoughtfully designed and built with respected craftsmanship—it can become more than just a ring. It can become an heirloom.

This Villa Sylva Wedding Mastered Sophistication Without Skipping the Fun

May 21, 2025 | justine

Elina and Jack’s love story started in the charming streets of London, and it only seems fitting that their special day would unfold in one of the most cinematic spots in the world—Villa Sylva in Corfu. Famous for its appearance in the James Bond Film, For Your Eyes Only, this villa set the stage for a wedding that was all about fun, music, and sophistication.

What We Love About This Villa Sylva Wedding:

  • The fun-filled atmosphere, where guests were dancing on tables before dinner even started
  • Bridesmaids in sexy, romantic black and nude dresses, each one chosen for comfort
  • A sophisticated James Bond theme with “The Kendall” gown by Galia Lahav and black tuxedos
  • The grand entrance performance by The Function Band, getting everyone to their feet
  • The 50-seat “head table” that set the tone for a dance-on-the-table kind of night

In September 2014, Elina’s life took an unexpected turn while searching for a new apartment in Marylebone, London. Little did she know that fate was at play, bringing her together with Jack—a young, handsome agent who would soon show her the very flat she would call home. From that serendipitous meeting, it felt like magic was in the air.

“Me and Jack moved in together from our second month of dating,” Elina shared. “We always knew we were meant for each other, as we could be ourselves fully from the very beginning. “ After nearly a decade of love, the couple transformed their dream day into an unforgettable celebration with their closest friends and family.

Fashion: A James Bond-Inspired Dream

Fast forward to September 2023, and the streets of Marylebone once again played a pivotal role in Elina’s life. This time, her mission was to find the perfect wedding dress. After trying on three exquisite gowns, she finally found “The Kendall” by Galia Lahav, a breathtaking blend of glamour and sparkle. The gown perfectly embodied the couple’s James Bond theme, combining sophistication and allure.

“We wanted something beyond the traditional wedding dress,” Elina explained. “I wanted a glamorous gown that would capture the sophistication of the James Bond theme we envisioned.”

The bridesmaids wore sexy and romantic black and nude dresses, each chosen for comfort. “I’m not a traditional bride, so I wasn’t strict at all with this aspect. “ The groomsmen wore classic black tuxedos with bow ties, perfectly matching the Bond-inspired theme.

Why They Chose Villa Sylva Wedding

Villa Sylva wasn’t just a beautiful venue for Elina and Jack, it held personal significance. “It felt like the perfect place to bring our closest people together, with most of our guests traveling from the UK and Cyprus.” The villa’s cinematic history and breathtaking ocean views made it an obvious choice for their big day. “We loved the idea of a beautiful, minimalistic design that would blend seamlessly with the venue’s natural beauty.”

How They Made Their Ceremony Feel Personal and Powerful

Elina and Jack envisioned a ceremony that seamlessly blended playfulness with glamour. The aisle was adorned with soft white roses and baby’s breath, creating an elegant yet understated path to their vows. As they walked down the aisle to the sounds of a live quartet, surrounded by the lush greenery of Villa Sylva, the moment felt truly magical.

“We wanted it to feel authentic,” Elina shared. “Every detail was infused with our personal touch, making the ceremony as heartfelt as it was beautiful.” The minimalist  floral arrangements and clear acrylic chairs complemented the venue’s natural beauty, allowing the surroundings to take center stage.

Designing the Villa Sylva Wedding of Their Dreams

The couple focused on creating a reception space that was both stylish and energetic, with chandeliers adding glamour to the outdoor area. The floral designs were minimal yet striking, featuring soft blush roses and delicate white blooms that were complemented by the venue’s natural greenery.

One of the highlights was the 50-seat “head table,” where Elina and Jack gathered their closest friends. “By dinner time, we were all dancing on the chairs and table. It was the best decision we made.”

The Function Band played an integral role in keeping the energy high from start to finish. “We wanted our guests to have a good time. Our first dance was ‘Gangsta’s Paradise,’ performed by the live band. They were the main focus of the wedding. The energy they brought was contagious.”

Final Thoughts from a Couple Who Prioritized Fun

Elina and Jack were all about making their wedding fun from the start. They kicked things off with a pre-party at Imabari Corfu, where they set up a flower bar, served drinks, and enjoyed a relaxed dinner, all with Greek music playing in the background. The night ended with plate smashing and plenty of dancing.

Looking back on their Villa Sylva wedding, the couple reflected on the importance of staying true to themselves. “Do what makes you happy,” Elina advised. The day was all about celebrating their love in a way that felt authentic to them, from the fun pre-party to the glamorous James Bond-inspired theme.

Minneapolis Wedding at Urban Daisy Blends Whimsy with Modern Sophistication

May 18, 2025 | justine

When Alexandra and Nick began planning their wedding, they knew they wanted to combine the bold, the playful, and the sophisticated. With a love for vibrant colors and a flair for modern design, they found the perfect setting at Urban Daisy.

What We Love About This Urban Daisy Wedding:

A Meaningful Location with Personal Ties

For Alexandra, Minneapolis was always the ideal place to say “I do.” “It’s where most of my family is, and it’s where we spent so much of our early days together,” she shared. When the couple visited Urban Daisy, they immediately knew it was the one. “It was modern, playful, and the perfect canvas to bring our vision to life.” With its airy vibe, hanging greenery, and disco ball wall, the venue offered a perfect backdrop for their colorful, fun celebration.

The wedding date was chosen serendipitously: June 29th was one of the few remaining dates for 2024. “Nick’s birthday is on 5/29 and mine on 9/29, so 29 holds special meaning for us.” 

A Hometown Rehearsal Dinner to Start the Weekend

While the wedding was in Minneapolis, Alexandra grew up in nearby St. Paul and wanted to honor that. They chose Mancini’s Char House, an old-school steakhouse, for their rehearsal dinner. “It was a wonderful way for our wedding party and immediate families to bond and celebrate the excitement before the big day.” Afterward, they hosted welcome drinks at a hotel downtown, allowing guests from out of town to mingle and enjoy the evening before the wedding festivities began.

Their Intimate First Look Under Disco Balls

The couple shared a beautiful first look on the dance floor under the sparkling disco balls. “It was intimate and beautiful, just the two of us and our photographer.” Originally, they planned to exchange private vows at this moment, but in the end, they decided to say them during the ceremony instead. It was a surprising change, but it felt right.

The Personal Touches That Defined Their Urban Daisy Wedding Day

One of the most moving parts of the ceremony was their personalized vows. “There’s nothing quite like hearing your significant other pouring their heart out to you.” Another special touch was the ring warming ceremony. Their rings were passed around the wedding party and immediate family, allowing each person to imbue their good wishes into the rings before the couple exchanged them.

From the very beginning, the couple knew they wanted their wedding to be fun. “We’ve never seen a dance floor so packed,” crediting the incredible DJ who kept everyone dancing all night long. The couple’s first dance was another highlight. “We took dance lessons, so it was fun to show off our moves!”

How Alexandra and Nick Made Their Wedding Style Unique

Nick’s purple suit became the highlight of the wedding. “It really was a wow moment,” the couple reflected. Alexandra, on the other hand, went into dress shopping with an open mind. “I gravitated toward simple silhouettes, and when I found the one, I customized it to add a little sparkle and glamour. I felt like an absolute queen.”

The wedding party attire was also important. “It was really important to me that all the girls felt comfortable.” She let the bridesmaids pick their dresses within a pink color theme. A few bridesmaids even wore suits, giving the wedding a unique, modern edge. The groomsmen wore classic black suits, accented with floral pink ties to tie everything together.

Budgeting Smartly While Staying True to Their Vision

“Our top priorities were a naturally beautiful venue, stunning photography, and really delicious food.” They were lucky to win their photographer in an Instagram giveaway, which allowed them to allocate the saved budget to other wedding elements. “We had a lot of honest conversations about our budget, which really helped keep us on the same page.” If there were moments of disappointment about not having everything they wanted, they always reminded themselves that the most important thing was getting married, which made it all worthwhile.

Blending Urban Chic with Natural Beauty at Urban Daisy

Choosing Urban Daisy was a decision that truly set the tone for their day. “It was the perfect mix of urban and nature.” The venue’s spacious layout and natural light made it just right for their playful,colorful wedding. The decor leaned heavily into pinks and blues, with lots of candles and disco balls to add a touch of sparkle. “It was colorful yet elegant, exactly the vibe we wanted.”

At the start of their planning, Alexandra thought she would DIY many things, but as the big day approached, she realized it would cause more stress than it was worth. “I did DIY the bud vases and flower girl bouquets, but that’s about it! My mom and I also hand-knotted the napkins.” One detail that was particularly meaningful to them was displaying wedding photos of their parents and grandparents at the venue’s entrance. “It felt like a nice way to honor the love that came before ours.”

The One Wedding Tip Alexandra and Nick Swear By

Alexandra and Nick’s most important piece of advice for couples planning their own weddings? “Add more time into your timeline than you think you’ll need!” The day goes by quickly, and extra time allowed them to truly enjoy each moment with their guests without feeling rushed.
