Why not design your own wedding ring?

Your wedding ring is the only part of your wedding that you'll be wearing every day for the rest of your life. Instead of buying standard off-the-shelf wedding rings, you could design your own ring.

You don’t have to be able to draw in order to design your rings!

If you can describe it, we can create it for you! Even if you don't have the faintest idea what style of wedding ring you would like you can still have a lot of input into the design of your own unique ring. We have plenty of ideas and we'll offer all the expert advice and suggestions you need.


It is really a case of making lots of small decisions about every aspect of the ring, and when you put them all together you have produced a design that will be unique to you.


With a bride's wedding ring we'll usually start by looking at the engagement ring. The two rings need to complement one another.


In most cases the engagement ring is the main focus of attention, and the wedding ring needs to enhance it rather than compete with it.


We'll advise you on how to strike the right balance to arrive at the effect you are after.


You can decide on the width of band that works best. It's usually a good idea to go for the same depth of band.





If the shape of your engagement ring means it will not work with a traditional straight band, the solution could be a fitted wedding ring. Just as with a straight wedding ring, you have control over the width, depth and cross-section, and it can be plain or diamond-set.

Choose a bespoke wedding ring from Aurum jewellers

Why buy a mass-produced ring on the high street, when for a similar price you could have a unique engagement ring created just for you? Make your engagement even more special with Aurum designer jewellers.


The size of your finger needs to be considered when deciding on the width of the band. There is no right or wrong width. - It just has to look right to you!


Lifestyle is something we consider when designing your wedding ring. If you have a manual job or have "heavy-duty" hobbies you are likely to put marks into your ring. For this reason you might want to go for a surface finish that will disguise these marks.


A dent or scratch on a plain polished ring will stand out but on a heavily textured wedding ring it will blend in with the texture.

Make Your Own Wedding Ring?

Really? - Are you intending to make your own wedding dress? - Are you going to bake and decorate your own wedding cake?


Unless you are an expert seamstress or baker or cake decorator, you'll probably be leaving these tasks to people who are experts in their respective fields. In spite of the current craze for "make your own wedding ring", we suggest you have your wedding ring made by a professional too.


It takes years of training to become a goldsmith, and even making something as simple as a wedding ring takes a long time to master. However, if you would like to design your own wedding ring, we can turn your ideas into reality.
