Wedding Jewellery Guide

Wedding planning is a whirlwind of decisions and emotions, from choosing the venue to deciding on the perfect flowers and dress. Yet, amidst all the big-ticket items, the finer details – like your jewellery deserve just as much attention. After all, the rings and accessories you choose will hold memories and meanings long after the day is over.

As jewellers, we believe that the right pieces can add that extra sparkle to your wedding. Whether it’s polishing your engagement ring, selecting meaningful wedding bands, or accessorising your bridal party, here’s everything you need to know to make those decisions confidently.

1. Give Your Engagement Ring a Pre-Wedding Glow-Up

Your engagement ring is the ultimate symbol of your love story and it’s been with you through every step of your wedding planning journey. It’s only fitting to give it the attention it deserves before the big day.

A professional clean and polish will not only make your diamond sparkle like new but also help maintain the health and longevity of your ring. We can assist you in checking the setting for wear and tear, ensuring that your diamond is both sparkly and secure and ready for all the ‘I do’ close-ups and hand-in-hand photos.

If you’re short on time or simply can’t part with your beloved ring, consider investing in a Diamond Dazzle stick. This handy tool is a lifesaver, offering a quick and effective way to revive your diamond’s shine at home. While it’s not a substitute for a professional cleaning, it’s perfect for a temporary fix when you’re on a tight schedule.

2. Choosing Your Wedding Rings: Timeless Symbols of Love

Your wedding rings are more than just jewellery - they’re a daily reminder of the vows you’ll exchange with your partner. With so many options available, finding the perfect rings can feel overwhelming. Here are a few key factors to consider:

The Metal

• Yellow Gold: A timeless choice that exudes warmth and tradition.
• White Gold or Platinum: Sleek and modern, perfect for a contemporary look.
• Rose Gold: Romantic and unique, ideal for those who want something a little different.

To Sparkle or Not to Sparkle?

Do you want diamonds or embellishments on your wedding band? A diamond studded eternity ring offers a touch of glamour, while a simple, polished band is understated and timeless. Consider what complements your engagement ring and reflects your personal taste.

Comfort is Key

Remember, your wedding ring is something you’ll wear every day, so it must be comfortable. Visit us to have your ring size professionally measured and try on different styles to find the perfect fit.

Matching or Complementary Rings?

Some couples prefer matching wedding bands to symbolise unity, while others opt for designs that complement their individual styles. Whether it’s a shared metal, engraving or completely unique rings, the choice should reflect your partnership.
