I bought a ring, & it is called an eternity band. It has diamonds going all the way around it. It is a size 7, but I wear a size 5. I heard that it can't be sized because of the diamonds that go all the way around it. Is this true? Can't the diamonds be taken out & put back in after it is down sized? Hmmm??? Can anyone give me some ideas?

No, an eternity band cannot be sized. Some jewelers might be willing to "Stretch" a band, which might make it a quarter size bigger, but it cannot be sized down.
The issue isn't about where the diamonds go when you size it down – it's about the structural damage that sizing the ring would cause. To size it down, the jeweler has to change the shape of the ring slightly, which affects the stability of the stone settings – therefore, the ring is unsizeable. Sorry.
