02 / The material matters
Get to know your metals.
Use these guides to explore your options, then ask a jeweller about the exact ring you are considering.
Gold
Explore colours and carats, and consider how your wedding band will sit alongside jewellery you already wear.
Platinum
Consider the feel, finish and budget of a platinum band before choosing a design.
Titanium
Explore titanium styles and ask about fit, alterations and future resizing before ordering.
Take your other rings with you. Trying your wedding band alongside your engagement ring helps you compare their shape, height and overall feel. Ask the jeweller whether the combination is suitable for everyday wear.
03 / The finishing touches
Make the whole look yours.

Start with a piece you love.
A pair of earrings, a family necklace or a coloured stone can be the starting point for your wedding jewellery. Try the pieces with your outfit and hairstyle to see how they work together.

05 / Keep this handy
Before you buy. After you do.
A few practical questions to take to your appointment and return to once your jewellery is home.
A little care, from the start.
Keep the advice for your exact piece
Ask your jeweller for written care instructions when you collect your jewellery. Keep them with the receipt and any details of the materials and gemstones.
Check before trying a cleaning method
A method suggested for one ring may not be suitable for another. Confirm what is recommended for your particular stones, settings and finishes before using cleaning products or equipment.
Plan ahead for alterations
If a ring needs a size adjustment, repair or engraving, ask for the likely timescale before the wedding. Leave room for a final fitting.
