Aurum Designer Jewellers IN PERFECT HARMONY Andrew says, “If you’re not sure what style of wedding ring would be right for you, think about what’s going to work well with your engagement ring. If, like most brides, you want your engagement ring to be the focal point, you need to make sure the wedding ring doesn’t draw attention away from it. “At a design consultation, we look for design elements in a customer’s engagement ring that can be replicated in the wedding ring. If it’s going to be a perfectly plain band, simply having the same profile will make the rings look like they belong together. “If the shape of your engagement ring doesn’t allow it to sit against a straight wedding ring, it’s worth considering a fitted wedding ring. When two rings fit together, like two parts of a jigsaw puzzle, they look much neater, feel more comfortable, and because movement is restricted, there’s much less wear caused by the two rings rubbing against one another.” A REFLECTION OF YOU Pippa at Baroque Jewellery (www.baroquejewellery. com) says, “We’re passionate about celebrating your uniqueness with imaginative and enduring bespoke jewellery designs that tell your story. Whether you’re looking to create the perfect wedding band to complement your vintage engagement ring or designing a pair of matching rings to mark your upcoming civil or wedding ceremony, our friendly team will guide you from start to finish, making your dream a reality. “Customisable options also include adding diamonds or other precious gemstones to your wedding band (ladies’ and gents’ alike) we also offer an engraving service and bespoke options for this can differ wildly from a fully engraved wedding rings to adding a simple date or personal message inside the band so you or your partner never forget!” Baroque Jewellery Baroque Jewellery TEST YOUR METAL. Pippa says, “There are no rules about what metal you should wear for your wedding ring and we firmly believe in using the best material that you can afford at the time – the rings are going to be the items that you’ll wear for the rest of your life so definitely worth considering this when choosing. We only use metals we can work in our studio such as platinum, 18ct and 9ct yellow, white and rose gold. If you have an engagement ring in a certain metal, then we recommend using that very same metal in the wedding ring to avoid uneven wear.” The experts at F.Hinds say, “There are a wide variety of metals to choose from such as yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, platinum, palladium and even titanium. Yellow gold, white gold and platinum are the most popular, while palladium and titanium are often chosen by those who work very hands-on jobs as they’re very hard wearing. Each metal comes with its own care requirements, so it’s important to consider that when you’re shopping.” F.Hinds Baroque Jewellery SELECT YOUR STYLE “When choosing a wedding ring, you’ll find a wide range of styles to suit every preference,” say the experts at F.Hinds. “Some opt for a classic plain band, while others prefer diamond set or shaped designs that pair seamlessly with their engagement ring. You can also explore crossover, patterned, and weave styles, among many other unique options to suit you.” F.Hinds 56
