It is only an antique if it is at least fifty years in age.
An eternity ring is one that is lined with diamonds. The loop of diamonds is meant to represent love being eternal. These are used for other purposed besides engagements, such as just being a gift given in a serious relationship as a gesture of love and commitment, or an anniversary. Sometimes it is given as a present after a couple has their first child.
The style with convex and concave angles is a heart shaped diamond ring. These have an elongated shape and are usually made out of stones that are lower quality. They have lower carat counts. They can be given as a friendship ring. If given for engagements, the shape is meant to represent love.
