Wedding & Engagement Rings
Individually
Designed & Handmade.....
|
|
Having your rings made specially for you
ensures that you get exactly what you want. The rings are made
individually for each
customer according to the particular wishes concerning the
style, materials and price range.
The ring is the one item that the
bride wears on her wedding day, which she will wear for the rest of her life!
Since the rings have such a significant role in the wedding ceremony itself,
many couples both have rings to symbolise their vows to each other. If you have not yet chosen an engagement
ring, an individually designed and handmade one is that bit more special.
Whether you require something very traditional or 'a bit different' we are
always delighted to undertake commissions.
We recommend 18ct gold for both wedding
and engagement ring since it is of high quality, good colour and relatively
hard-wearing. We can make rings in yellow, red or white gold or a
combination of these. Our 18ct White gold is not usually rhodium
plated as this
can become patchy over time and the natural darker grey of the white gold is
attractive in it's own right. If you
prefer the whiter look then we recommend Platinum
as an excellent hard, white metal for wedding
rings which also looks
particularly good when combined with 18ct yellow gold. We
also make rings in 9ct, 14ct and 22ct gold. We can now also offer
Palladium in some shapes and size - this is a recently available 95%
pure precious metal which should be allocated a hallmark in 2009. It is a
good white colour similar to Platinum and also very hard wearing. It is
significantly less expensive than platinum or 18ct white gold. It is however
almost have the density of platinum and so feels rather insignificant for a
ladies wedding band unless a very chunky or wide design. It is a
particularly good choice for wide mens wedding bands which would be
prohibitively expensive in platinum. As a guide to relative costs a
3 x 2mm heavy D-shape ladies wedding band in a size M would be (
prices for October 2011)
£ 400 in 18ct Yellow Gold. £ 450 in 18ct Red Gold. £ 500 in 18ct White Gold
(plus £ 50. for rhodium plating).
£ 600 in 22ct Gold. £ 275 in Palladium. £ 850 in Platinum.
We can provide a selection of designs
for your engagement ring with complementing wedding ring designs. Click here for
more
information about the Design Process. Diamonds and other gemstones can be provided on approval for you to choose from
and we are happy to provide advice regarding the
diamond
quality grading system.
An important consideration when
choosing the wedding ring is how it will look alongside your engagement ring.
The two should
fit comfortably together and both enhance and emphasise each
other. It is usually possible to design and hand-make the
wedding ring so
that it will fit snugly next to your engagement ring.

What Shape?.............When choosing
your wedding rings it is important to decide which shape suits your hand
best.
There are a
wide range of different profiles as shown below, the most popular ones being
D-shape, Court or Flat. However as we
make each ring by hand – you can have any shape with any design to suit you.
Vsit us and try on all the different profiles to find the
most comfortable for you!
What Width & Thickness?................Rings can be
made in different thicknesses and widths
– for example probably the most
popular traditional Ladies D-shape Band is 3mm wide with a thickness of
2mm. We can help
you to decide on the perfect measurements for you.
What size?......................We advise
that you visit us to have your ring size taken professionally. We need to
consider the changes in size due to the hand’s temperature, if it will be
worn next to another ring, as well as the ring’s width & profile.
