The METAL

Which precious metal is best?
From gold wedding rings to platinum, the rarity of the precious metals used in our wedding rings makes them even more unique. Platinum is a great metal and will never tarnish or fade due to its natural, bright white colour. These wedding rings are becoming increasingly popular with modern couples as the metal is extremely tough and stands up well to everyday wear and tear. It’s rarer than gold and slightly more expensive, but a platinum wedding ring is sure to last forever.

White Gold. Naturally a champagne colour, white gold is coated with rhodium for a bright white lustre. These wedding rings are plated with rhodium to enhance their appearance and although plating can wear off over time, it can easily be re-applied to make your wedding ring look as good as new.

Available in 9ct or 18ct, we love the warm, golden glow of our Yellow Gold wedding rings. Yellow gold is a good choice for traditional brides and grooms-to-be. Generally, 22ct gold is too soft to wear every day, so it’s worth considering a 18ct, or 9ct gold wedding ring. These rings are combined with stronger metals and are better suited to the demands of everyday life. Rose Gold. A mix of yellow gold and copper, rose gold is loved for its romantic rose hues.

Titanium is one of the more modern jewellery metals. Strikingly different in colour to platinum and palladium, Titanium is scratch-resistant and feels light on the finger, which makes it desirable for those who are not used to wearing jewellery.

Zirconium, black zirconium, and tungsten carbide are other contemporary metals with similar properties and appearance that have become increasingly more popular in the recent years.
