Indeed, there’s great pleasure to be had in collaborating on a design, which in turn is created for you on site. The exciting launch of the new Regency wedding ring range captures the vintage aspect of that romantic era with a modern element within each design. The collection offers the bride and groom a choice of wedding rings that are far from standard, yet boast a classic feel, featuring shaped rings and diamond sets. “The most sentiment you could ever attach to your wedding ring would be in knowing it was created for you by your loved one,” owner Natalie Towell says. The experienced jeweller hosts a one-day “Make Your Own Wedding Rings” workshop, where you’re guided and assisted through each step of handmaking process by a professional. You’re able to work in all precious metals, such as gold or platinum and, what’s more, you can also make shaped rings or have textures, diamonds/gemstones set into them. Engraving can also be arranged once they’re made. Contact Natalie any time to arrange a free consultation, discuss your ideas, and benefit from her expert advice.
