Wedding Bands Checklist

Wedding preparation doesn't have to be daunting. You and your partner are on a special journey together, and we want to help. We've created a wedding ring checklist to cover the frequently asked questions with expert advice.

When Should You Purchase Your Wedding Rings?

Purchasing your wedding rings is not a decision you want to rush! At The Jewel Hut, we recommend purchasing your rings three months prior to the big day. While our wedding rings can be made to size and ready to wear in 3 weeks, you should allow room for if you change your mind about the ring or want any adjustments made. The three months also allow time for you to find the perfect wedding rings and enjoy the process, rather than feeling the stress of strict time constraints.

How Much Should Your Wedding Ring Cost?

How much you want to spend is something for you and your partner to discuss and decide together. You may want to consider your earnings and expenses when it comes to creating an affordable budget for your wedding rings. It's important to bear in mind that a wedding ring is a special purchase that you may wear for the rest of your life. While you want to look stunning in your dress or suit on the big day, it's the ring you will wear long after the ceremony. You want to make sure it's a perfect fit and style for you. However, the perfect wedding ring doesn't have to be expensive - we sell quality precious metal wedding bands for under £100.

Do You Want Matching Rings?

Plain, Shaped, or Stone-Set

The traditional wedding ring style is a plain yellow gold metal band. This offers a classic and elegant look. However, you can also purchase stone-set and shaped wedding rings. Popular shaped wedding rings include, the wishbone, twist, and dipped. These are designed to shape perfectly around your engagement ring. 

What Metal Wedding Band Should I Get?

First things first, your choice of wedding ring must complement the metal that features on your engagement ring. To maintain the quality of the metal, you should choose a ring that has the same grade. So if you have an 18ct gold engagement ring, we recommend you choose an 18ct wedding ring.

Ring Profile

This is important for the overall feel of the ring on your finger. You want to choose the ring profile that feels most comfortable.

Band Width

Rings come in many shapes and sizes. For slender, shorter fingers we recommend a thinner ring width, while a larger finder tends to suit a wider ring width.

Edges

Edges refer to the designs around the ring's outer edge. Styles include beaded, scalloped, and lined edges.

Finance Options and Insurance

While many of us don't want to think about it, when it comes to expensive and precious jewellery purchases, you may want to consider purchasing insurance to cover the cost of loss or damage to your wedding rings. At The Jewel Hut, we also offer 0% interest-free credit on rings over £280 to help you spread the cost.
