Fantastic service and product range. By using lab grown diamonds I was able to get larger diamonds with better colour and clarity, along-with a higher carat gold than I would have obtained for the same price at the usual big brand jewellers.
Jason was great to deal with, and even with having to order parts in, he was able to turn the order around quickly and in time for my wife's birthday. Don't shop for jewellery anywhere else, and seriously consider using lab-grown gems, they look great!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. The service was EXCEPTIONAL both guys working were lovely lovely people who both came out and had a chat with me and my mum. I had to return after the first time of getting my silver chain shortened as I mistakenly gave the wrong measurements the first time, however the second time I was assured that I would leave again with the intent to give the chain to someone finally, the second time extensive measuring and consultation was done to ensure I was happy with the final products. Great pricing. Great customer service. Great consultation. Great timing. Great service, and a beautiful shop to be stood in.

FAQs

The most popular metals include gold (yellow, white, and rose), platinum, tungsten, titanium, and stainless steel. Each metal has its own benefits, such as durability, hypoallergenic properties, or unique appearance. Just note that choosing a metal that has to be made by machine, because it's too hard for the jeweller to work with, will mean that it can not be re-sized at any time in the future. So it's important to make sure your ring is a good fit!

A well-fitted wedding band should feel snug but comfortable. It should slide over the knuckle with a bit of resistance and not easily spin around the finger. The ring shouldn’t feel too tight or leave marks on the skin.

Comfort fit bands have a slightly rounded interior, making them easier to slide on and off and more comfortable for extended wear. Standard fit bands have a flat interior and may feel tighter, especially for wider rings.

This is entirely a personal choice. Some couples prefer matching bands to symbolise unity, while others choose different styles to reflect their individual preferences. It’s perfectly fine to have complementary, but not identical, rings.

Men’s wedding bands typically range from 4mm to 8mm in width. Thinner bands (4-5mm) offer a more subtle look, while wider bands (6-8mm) are bolder and may suit larger hands. The best width depends on comfort and personal style.

Regular cleaning with mild soap and water, followed by drying with a soft cloth, will help maintain the ring's shine. For metals like platinum or white gold, professional polishing can help occasionally to restore the finish.

Yes, many men’s wedding bands feature diamonds or other gemstones for added style and uniqueness. You can choose from subtle accents, such as a single diamond, or opt for a more elaborate design with multiple stones.
