Following on from my post on tips for choosing a wedding ring I thought it might be nice to share some of my favourites…
The one thing that I always tell customers in a wedding ring consultation is that there are no rules. It doesn’t have to look like a wedding ring, match your partner’s ring or even be made of gold or platinum. If you love it and you want it to be your wedding ring – then go for it! The only opinion that matters is yours.
TANGO RINGS BY NIESSING
Two tone rings in 18ct yellow gold and platinum with a polished groove on the edge where the two metals meet. These rings are simply beautiful. The clean lines, contrasting colours and simplicity of the design are so effective – a timeless piece.
OVERLAP RING BY MCCAUL GOLDSMITHS
A beautifully elegant choice, the overlap ring by McCaul Goldsmiths is hand forged to comfortably wrap around the finger. Pictured here in satin matte finish rose gold and with a stunning highlight of small diamonds set in the narrow end.
SWEDISH SET BY MICHAEL O’DWYER
For those who don’t want an engagement ring the Swedish Ring Set by Michael O’Dwyer is a beautiful alternative. Two rings that sit perfectly together – a narrow white gold diamond set ring and a wider rose gold band that is diamond set on the edge. Wear it with the diamonds facing out for extra brilliance or keep them all for yourself and turn them facing in.
MOKUME GANE
Directly translated as wood grain metal, Mokume Gane is an ancient technique that was used to decorate Samurai swords in 17th century Japan. The process involves folding and fusing sheets of metal together before carving down through the layers and then forging the metal to draw the pattern out. A little like a fingerprint, the exact pattern cannot be recreated – a truly unique piece.
TITANIUM & SILVER INLAY
While it is not for everyone I love the engineered look of these very flat rings. Added to that their colour and finish give such a masculine look – a strong choice.
Obviously, these are just my favourites… there are plenty more beautiful styles to choose from in store. Why not call in to view our full selection? You won’t be disappointed.
