So your engaged?! How exciting, as part of planning for your big day you will also want to think about your wedding bands.
Your wedding bands are probably some of the most important pieces of jewellery that you will wear. Not only are they a symbol of your everlasting love and commitment for each other but you will also be wearing these everyday so it’s important to spend some time to get the right rings for you.
Here are some top tips for having bespoke wedding bands made:
Design – we don’t expect you to come with design ideas but it is helpful to know what kind of styles you like. Then Nicola and I can create a range of different design ideas to discuss with you.
Material – if you have an engagement ring you will need to have your wedding band made out of the same material. For example if you have 18ct gold engagement ring you will need an 18ct god wedding band. Your wedding band needs to be the same hardness of material as otherwise as you wear them together one will wear the other away.
Profile – do you know your D section from your flat? If not don’t worry, we are here to help. We can talk you through the different types of metal profiles and find the one that is right for you.
Finish – whether you want a mirror finish, hammered or a matt finish we can help you get the right finish for you.
Time scale – on average our commissions can take around 6 – 8 weeks depending on how complicated the design is. Each piece that we make is as individual as the wearer.
Still got questions? Get in touch, Nicola and I are happy to help you can contact us via email, phone or in person.
We will look forward to seeing you
Victoria and Nicola
