There are three main choices when it comes to picking your wedding band and they are the metal type, shape and finish. Let us walk you through what each one means and the different options we have available.

Regular Court Profile: With the rounded shape around the entirety of the ring, this is an incredibly comfortable choice, that is also sometimes referred to as ‘comfort fit’ . The regular court profile is one of our most popular styles because of its classic frame and timeless charm.

D Shaped Profile: This shape has a flat inner side and a curved outer band, the reason for its D shaped title. As one of the most popular wedding band shapes, this profile is a comfortable and secure fit. This is all due to its rounded form that is very unlikely to catch, making it ideal for everyday wear.

Flat Court Profile: The flat court is actually the opposite shape to the D shaped profile as it is flat on the outside and curved on its inner band. This means that it is incredibly comfortable to wear and offers a more contemporary look. The flat appearance of this profile is an understated yet modern twist on the traditional wedding band.

Bevelled Edge Profile: The bevelled edge profile takes the idea of a flat shape a step further, by having both the inside and outer edges of the band level. As another modern shape for a wedding band, this silhouette is a captivating frame.  

Platinum: This is an excellent choice for a wedding band because it makes for a super strong and durable piece, that is also hypoallergenic and very resistant to tarnishing.   

18k White Gold: Similar to platinum in colour, white gold is another gorgeous option for a wedding band. Its slightly smaller price point and neutral colour make this option our most popular metal type for a wedding band.  

18k Yellow Gold: A traditional colour that has recently come very much back into fashion, the yellow gold wedding band is a great choice. Our gold rings are alloyed with other metals, making them 18k rather than pure 24k because it makes them much more durable. Pure gold is quite malleable and does not work very well for an item of jewellery that is meant to be worn everyday. By having a 18k wedding band, we can ensure that you will have a ring that will last a lifetime.  

We offer two different finishes, the polished band and a satin finish. The polished look is definitely the most classic option, with a high shine. Our other option is the satin finish, which is an elegant choice but with a contemporary feel. The stain finish is perfect for those who want something just a little bit different without being over the top.
