They expertly blend tradition with modern technology, ensuring that their goldsmiths preserve ancient craftsmanship while embracing contemporary techniques. With a wealth of technical knowledge, the dedicated team is ready to help customers visualise their dream pieces. Harriet France from Jeremy France Jewellers shares, “When you get married, there are two things you carry with you every day after those magical celebrations: photographs and your wedding ring. It’s crucial to choose a ring that feels personal to you, as it will be a daily reminder of your union. There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to wedding rings. Since it’s likely the most significant ring you’ll ever own, it’s essential that you love it just as much as your partner. There are countless ways to create your perfect wedding ring. For instance, you might design a ring that fits seamlessly with your engagement ring or your partner’s ring. This could involve matching the profiles for a perfect fit or incorporating complementary gemstones or designs in varying widths.” Another beautiful option is to use family gold or diamonds to craft a wedding band that carries a piece of family history. This meaningful touch honours the joining of two families in a truly special way. Additionally, personalising the ring with a secret engraving inside can add an intimate element just for the couple. This could be as classic as their names and wedding date, or something playful like nicknames or sweet sentiments. One of Harriet’s favourites has been ‘player one’ and ‘player two’ for a special touch. For those with unique engagement rings needing a specially shaped wedding band or a matching design, opting for bespoke jewellery is the ideal solution. The onsite designers and goldsmiths at Jeremy France Jewellers can unlock a world of design possibilities to help find the perfect match. Whether customers prefer a timeless, simple band or a ring adorned with diamonds, choosing the bespoke route ensures they’ll cherish their ring forever.
