Handmade 9ct Rose gold wedding ring with a hammered finish

Your Wedding Ring Story

I love making wedding rings, I love that I am creating something that will be loved and worn every day. A universal symbol of love and commitment.

Choosing your wedding ring is a big decision, it makes me so incredibly happy when someone chooses and trust me to make their ring. There is something special about having your rings handmade to order, I love that I can be part of your wedding story.

Wedding rings have been used a symbol of love and commitment for Thousands of years with the use of rings being traced back to Ancient Egypt and Rome. The Roman use of rings seems to have been more transactional rather than loving but the modern use of rings to symbolise betrothal is a bit more romantic.

 

Traditionally gold has been popular choice for wedding rings,with palladium and platinum also being popular choices. Gold comes in different alloys, 18ct and 9ct most commonly used for making rings. Gold also comes in different colours, Yellow being the more traditional, I personally love Rose gold, its warmth and depth makes it stand out. White gold is never truly white and is sometimes plated with Rhodium to give it a truly white sheen. Unplated white gold however is a lovely choice, particularly for more organic type designs.

 

Cast or handmade? That is also something to think about. Larger jewellery stores sell mostly cast rings, this method of making the rings involves using moulds to create the form of the ring that are then mass produced. For a truly one of a kind ring some smaller jewellers like myself can make a unique mould just for your ring to be cast with!

 

My handmade rings are formed from gold wire that is shaped, cut and soldered into the ring shape. Each ring is carefully finished and polished. A hammered finish is one of my best sellers and something a little different.
