Handmade wedding rings have always been an important part of our business. We keep in stock a large range of contemporary wedding rings, designed and handmade in our own workshop. Bespoke wedding rings are particularly popular. We can create a ring that will perfectly complement a particular engagement ring. Many of the men's wedding rings we make are made to match the bride's ring.
Although it is possible to choose a design from our stock, most clients opt for a bespoke wedding ring, individually created to order by our team of skilled goldsmiths. Unlike most jewellers, we don’t employ sales people, so our clients deal direct with one of our craftsmen. Some couples come to us with a clear picture in their minds of what they are looking for, whilst others have just a vague idea, or none at all. Whichever is the case, we spend time with each client, establishing exactly what is required, offer as much assistance and advice as needed, and guiding them gently through the design process. read more»
A tailor-made wedding ring does not have to break the bank. The fact that we are both the maker and the retailer means that our prices are comaparable with those for hight-street rings of similar weight and complexity.
We produce women’s and men’s wedding rings in platinum, red gold and yellow gold, and increasingly in palladium, which is a less costly alternative to platinum. Platinum wedding rings are the first choice for many couples, but when the budget won't quite stretch that far palladium wedding rings are the next best option. We make a lot of two colour wedding rings - e.g. a platinum or palladium wedding ring with gold detail, or a gold wedding ring with platinum detail. Red gold or rose gold wedding rings offer a subtly different alternative to the more usual yellow gold wedding rings.
Matching wedding rings for bride and groom are not usually identical, as the proportions are normally adjusted to suit the respective hands of the partners.
Many brides ask us to create a bespoke wedding ring specifically to match their own engagement ring. This is sometimes no more than matching the profile of the band, or it might involve producing a fitted wedding ring that is specifically designed to follow the shape of the engagement ring, so that the two rings interlock.
Fitted wedding rings - also known as shaped wedding rings - eliminate gaps between the wedding ring and the engagement ring, giving a more elegant effect, and as the rings sit comfortably together the movement between them is reduced, which means there is less friction, resulting in reduced wear.
Diamond wedding rings are now popular with both men and women. Some diamond-set wedding rings have just one or two discretely placed diamonds, whilst others can be smothered with diamonds, depending on the taste and the budget of the individual client.
Naturally we can offer engraved wedding rings. The engraving can be on the inside or the outside or both. For example you might want a plain wedding band with your wedding date in roman numerals on the outside, and a latin message on the inside, - or perhaps both sets of initials.
Aurum is a gay-friendly jeweller, and we produce many commitment rings, civil partnership rings or gay wedding rings for same-sex couples.
Examples of our handmade contemporary wedding rings can be seen at Wedding Fairs in Brighton, East Sussex, West Sussex and the Southeast. It is very gratifying that many couples from across the UK are prepared to travel to a jewellers in West Sussex to commission their bespoke wedding rings.
