Traditional Wedding Rings

Classic wedding rings never go out of style. Explore traditional profiles and a choice of precious metals to find a ring that feels right for you.

After many years of white gold and platinum leading jewellery trends, we are seeing a renewed love for yellow gold. Available in 9ct, 14ct and 18ct, gold offers a range of options to suit different preferences and budgets.

If you prefer white metals, we offer white gold, platinum and palladium. Palladium is a recognised precious metal from the same family as platinum, and carries a hallmark confirming its purity. While platinum is very heavy and white, palladium is lighter and slightly more silvery in colour. It is, however, harder and slightly more scratch resistant. Available in two alloys, 95% purity and 50% purity, palladium has broadened our range of price options.

If you are wearing your wedding ring on its own, the choice of metal is yours. If you plan to wear it alongside another ring, such as an engagement ring, we recommend keeping the metals the same to reduce wear and tear. Look at the hallmark on your engagement ring to check its metal purity.

Our Classic Profile Guide

Choosing the perfect ring online can be challenging. Terms such as ‘medium’ and ‘heavy’ weight vary between jewellers, with no universal standard. Trying rings in person lets you compare their comfort, weight and finish, so you can choose with confidence.

As precious metal prices fluctuate, please contact us for a current quotation. We recommend choosing and ordering your wedding rings early to secure your quoted price.
