Buying the right wedding ring is never an easy decision. With hundreds of wedding rings to choose from you can get spoilt for choice.
The classic wedding ring is plain and simple. There are various profiles of plain wedding rings to suit the hand including: ‘court shape wedding ring’, a rounded profile both inside and out, ‘flat court wedding ring’, which has a flat outside and a curved court inside, ‘D Shape wedding ring’, flat on the inside with a curved outside and ‘soft court wedding ring’ which is similar to the court shape wedding ring but with a less pronounced curve and tends to be a good match against the shape of an engagement ring.
Deciding on the metal is also a decision to make which is often governed by budget or the metal of the engagement ring, it’s generally a good idea to keep the same metals together. In our range you'll find rings made from platinum, 18ct white & yellow gold, 9ct yellow gold and palladium. Platinum is the most precious of all the metals used in wedding rings. It is naturally white in colour and is the most durable. Yellow gold is still a very popular long lasting precious metal for wedding rings, available in 9ct and 18ct. White gold is an increasingly popular wedding ring alternative. Not as expensive as platinum it naturally has a darker tinge and is generally rhodium plated to enhance the whiteness but this can need redoing every couple of years or so. Palladium is the most like platinum, it is part of the same family, but is a fraction of the cost so it makes for a much cheaper alternative especially for a gents wedding ring. It is also a very similar colour to platinum and is hardwearing, the main difference is the density making it is much lighter in weight.
Often the lady's wedding ring may have one or more small diamonds set into the ring to add a little ‘sparkle’. We offer a wide selection of diamond set wedding rings with brilliant or princess cut diamonds. The stones can be channel set or rub-over set into the ring to stand alone or compliment an engagement ring.
Matching wedding rings are becoming increasingly popular and are usually a pair of identical rings where the lady's ring may have a small diamond or two and then the man's ring remains plain but in the same style and metal. Our collections by Furrer Jacot and Gerstner have rings to complement each other in a variety of contemporary designs.
