Lance James Classic Collection

Our collection of classic wedding rings proves that traditional styles stand the test of time and remain as popular as ever.

While trends evolve, we are seeing a resurgence in Yellow Gold, while those who prefer a white metal now have the additional options of Palladium, a recent addition to the hallmarked precious metals. 

Because the gold and precious metal markets are currently so volatile, our prices are available upon application to ensure you receive the most accurate and fair quote.  And we would always advice our couples to make ordering their wedding rings a priority so as to secure their price.

Choosing the perfect ring online is challenging, as industry terms like ‘medium’ or ‘heavy’ weight vary significantly between jewellers with no universal standard.  We invite you to book a 1-2-1 appointment to experience the quality of our rings in person, ensuring your choice feels as substantial as the commitment it represents.

Our Metal & Carat Options

We offer a comprehensive range of high-quality metals:

 9ct Gold in Yellow, White or Rose 
A practical and popular choice for everyday wear, containing 37.5% pure gold.  It is celebrated for its hardness and durability.
18ct Gold in Yellow, White or Rose 
The prestigious standard for wedding bands, featuring 75% pure gold. It offers a richer, warmer yellow hue and a luxurious weight.
Platinum 950
Naturally white and 95% pure, platinum is significantly denser than gold, giving it a prestige weight and a permanent lustre that doesn't require replating.
Palladium 950 
A premium, naturally white metal from the platinum family. At 95% purity, it is highly durable, tarnish-resistant, and hypoallergenic—the "modern choice" for those seeking a white finish with a lighter feel than platinum.
Palladium 500
An excellent alternative that offers the natural whiteness and tarnish resistance of palladium but with 50% purity resulting in a more accessible price point. 

Our Classic Profile Guide

The "profile" refers to the shape of the ring's cross-section, which determines both its look and how it sits against your finger:
  • Court (Comfort Fit)
    Rounded on both the inside and outside, this is the most traditional and popular profile, designed for optimum comfort.

9ct Yellow Gold , 4mm or 5mm widths, 1.7mm deep (4mm), 1.8mm deep (5mm), Flat Court profile, Polished - other surface finishes available on request, Made in England
, AVAILABLE IN 14 DAYS IN MOST SIZES (from date of size confirmation), Other sizes including half sizes available on reques
  • Flat Court
    Combines a flat modern exterior with a rounded "court" interior. This offers the sleek aesthetic of a flat ring with the superior comfort of a rounded fit.
  • Soft Court
    A compromise between the court and flat, the soft court results in a contemporary appearance.
