Wedding rings

For thousands of years rings have represented the affection given from one person to another. Whether you prefer a simple, elegant band or shimmering diamonds you'll wear your wedding ring for a long time, so we want to help you select a ring which will last. Have a look at a good selection of rings and let your own taste be your guide. But there are some other things you should consider.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT

Select a reputable jeweller. Recommendations of others are a good place to start.
The ring should slip on easily and should sit comfortably at the base of the finger.
Fingers change size depending on temperature. Ask the jeweller about this when you're making decisions.
When selecting a design consider your skin tone and the size and shape of your hands and fingers. Jewellery you currently prefer will help guide you.
Diamonds set high or cut with pronounced edges are more likely to catch on clothes.
Ensure that your engagement ring complements your wedding ring.

INSURANCE

If you don't already have household insurance take out a policy for theft, damage or loss. If you have household insurance you will need to add your ring/s to your policy. This usually only involves a call to your insurance company, but if your ring is expensive you may need a jeweller's valuation. You'll need to insure wedding gifts as well, and you may need special insurance if you're travelling away from home for your honeymoon.
