How to choose your wedding ring
The ring you’ll wear most - chosen for comfort, proportion and the details that make it yours.
STEP 1
Choose your metal
Begin with the tone you want to live in - the metal sets the mood, and it’s what you’ll wear every day.
Pairing with your engagement ring
When stacking a wedding ring with your engagement ring, it’s worth considering metal choice for long-term wear. For the best durability, match the metal and gold carat - for example 9ct with 9ct, or 18ct with 18ct -as higher-carat gold is softer and can wear more quickly when paired with harder metals. Platinum is best worn with platinum.
For a contemporary mixed-metal look, you can combine white and yellow gold, as long as the carat matches.
Warm and timeless, with a classic glow that wears beautifully over time. 9ct is softer and more neutral in tone; 18ct is richer and more buttery - deeper, warmer, unmistakably golden.
Cooler and clean, with a silvery finish that feels modern and minimal. 9ct is bright and true in tone; 18ct is a warmer, deeper grey, with optional rhodium plating to brighten it to a more silver look.
Naturally white with an icy, steel-toned finish and a beautifully weighty feel on the hand - understated, enduring, made for everyday.
STEP 2
Find your width
The band width can make a big difference to your stack - it shapes the overall balance, especially when worn alongside an engagement ring. A fine band feels understated and minimal. A mid-width band reads classic. A wider band has more presence - simple, but statement. Try a few proportions on your hand and choose what feels balanced, especially if you’ll wear it alongside an engagement ring.
STEP 3
Add sparkle
If you want some subtle sparkle to your stack, a diamond band adds light- designed to catch the eye in movement.
Prefer a more personal detail? A small coloured gemstone or birthstone can be a quiet marker of a date, a person, or a chapter, while keeping the silhouette clean and wearable.
STEP 4
Make it personal with an engraving
Engraving is the detail you keep closest. Add a date, initials, a place, or a short phrase - discreet, meaningful, and entirely yours.
Pairing with your engagement ring
The best match comes down to shape and proportion - choosing a band that sits comfortably, complements your setting, and looks effortless when worn together.
Add light and enhance the sparkle of your engagement ring, whether you choose a fine shimmer or something more statement.
Shaped to sit comfortably around your setting, creating a seamless line when the rings are worn together.
A modern silhouette designed to frame your ring, with a lightly adjustable fit that gives a little flexibility.
Two rings, one set
If you’re choosing as a pair, it doesn’t have to be identical. Many couples choose one shared detail - the same metal, finish, or engraving - then personalise the width and profile so each ring feels right for them personally.

Wedding Ring FAQs
Not at all. Many couples choose one shared detail - the same metal, finish or engraving - and personalise the rest so each ring feels right on the hand. Different widths and profiles often look best, and you can still create a pair that feels connected without being identical.
It depends on the shape and height of your engagement ring setting. Some rings sit flush with a straight band, while others pair better with a curved or contoured band for a closer, more seamless line. The simplest way to choose is to try options on with your engagement ring - in-store or via a virtual appointment - and we’ll guide you to the best fit.
The best metal is the one you’ll love wearing every day. Start with tone: yellow gold for warmth, white gold for a cooler, clean look, or platinum for a naturally white metal with a weighty feel. Then consider durability, finish, and whether you want it to match your engagement ring or sit in contrast with the jewellery you wear most.
You can mix metals for a contemporary look, but it’s important to consider hardness when rings sit closely together. 9ct gold and platinum are harder metals, while 18ct gold is softer due to its higher gold content. If a harder ring (like 9ct or platinum) is worn next to a softer 18ct ring, it can gradually scratch the surface and, over time, may wear delicate details or settings more quickly.
For the best long-term wear, we recommend matching your metal and carat (9ct with 9ct, 18ct with 18ct, and platinum with platinum). If you’d like a mixed-metal look, pairing white and yellow gold works well — just keep the carat consistent for durability.
Yes. A diamond band can be as subtle or as luminous as you like - from fine pavé for a soft shimmer, to half eternity styles for everyday wear, to full eternity rings for all-over sparkle. We’ll help you choose a setting that suits your lifestyle and how you want the ring to wear over time.
Often yes, depending on the design. Plain bands are usually straightforward to resize, while full eternity rings can be more limited because stones are set all the way around. If you’re choosing a diamond band and want flexibility, a half eternity style can be a practical option - and we can always advise before you decide.
Yes, you're welcome to make an appointment to visit us in store. It’s the easiest way to compare widths, metals and finishes side by side, try pairings with your engagement ring, and choose proportions that feel right for both of you. If you’re considering matching sets, we can help you keep a shared thread (metal, finish, engraving) while tailoring each ring to your own style.
