Have a hand in the design of your own unique wedding ring!

There are plenty of wedding rings on the market...



You could just walk into any jeweller’s and pick one from a tray of rings in stock...


That's what most people do.



but your wedding ring should be special!

These are the rings that you will place on one another’s fingers as you make your vows, and they will be there as a symbol of your commitment to one another for the rest of your lives.



When you opt for a bespoke wedding ring  you have control over every aspect of the design.


Whether it's a perfectly plain band, or something quite complex, you can specify everything.  - It's amazing how a few tiny tweaks can make a huge difference to how a ring looks.


This is especially true when you design a wedding ring to sit alongside your engagement ring. 


It is definitely an art rather than a science, and every case is different, but you need to think about what is going to complement your engagement ring best.


If you don't intend to wear your engagement ring all the time, you should also consider how the wedding ring looks when it is worn alone.


When an engagement ring requires a wedding ring to be shaped to fit with it, there are more design choices to be made.  Find out more about Fitted Wedding Rings.


The thought of designing your own wedding ring can be a daunting prospect for some people.

Creating bespoke wedding rings is a speciality for us. - We've been doing it since 1985, and we've helped thousands of couples get involved in the design of their own unique wedding rings.


Each commission starts with a free design-consultation at our showroom.


This is a chance to sit down with one of the skilled goldsmiths from our workshop and discuss what your ideal wedding ring would be like.

We start by listening to any ideas you already have, and then lead you through the design process.


We'll ask questions, and offer expert ideas and suggestions, steering you away from any pit-falls. By the end of your consultation, we'll have the exact specifications of your perfect ring.


At this point we'll be able to calculate prices for you, based on the cost of materials and labour needed to create your ring.


Designing your own wedding ring really consists of making lots of tiny decisions that will make it unique to you. 


There is no need for any artistic ability.  - It's our job to ask questions to draw out of you the details we need to create your ring.


A consultation is completely free, and without obligation.


If you have any questions, or would like to book a consultation, please get in touch.
