Choosing the perfect wedding rings has to be one of the most crucial parts of getting married. After all, these delicate small mementos of precious metal hold extreme sentiment for the rest of our lives. They are a symbol of eternal love and fidelity. Choosing the right design can sometimes be overwhelming, as there are numerous designs out there today. This is why at Johnsons Jewellers we have created a helpful guide to give you and your loved one the insight into the world of wedding rings. In store we have a large selection of wedding rings to view at your own convenience, whilst having a seat (and maybe whilst enjoying a glass of complementary champagne) in our new wedding boutique area.

 

 
Traditional Plain Wedding Band

 

The classic. For many years people have opted for the simplicity of a plain wedding band. At Johnsons we can supply a range of simplistic wedding bands in Silver, 9ct yellow, rose and white gold. 18ct yellow, rose and white gold, also Palladium and Platinum. Different widths are available from 2mm to 10mm. Traditionally, the wedding band is slightly wider than the engagement ring itself. Choosing the correct width is important not only for maximum comfort for the wearer, but also to suit the size of a person’s hand. The objective of a wedding ring is to compliment the engagement ring- not to upstage it.

 

 
So, what is your perfect fit?


For a more tailored fit, we have a collection of various ring profiles for you to try. These profiles have been created to suit different hand shapes proposed for superlative comfort. Something to also consider is that engagement rings have all been created with different profiles too, consequently it is recommended to match both rings with the same profile shape.

 

 
Traditional Court

 


The traditional court is no doubt the most traditional of the ring profiles. It is rounded on the inside and the outside (curved appearance). This type of ring compliments a wide variety of engagements and is also available in all precious metals.

 

 
Flat Profile

 


This profile is exactly how it sounds, as it is flat on all surfaces. This can give the appearance and feel of a more modern, heavier-set ring. This profile is more attractive to gentleman. Once again this profile is available in all precious metals.

 

 
Flat court

Patterned Wedding Bands

 


Patterned wedding bands are for those who are after a classic ring but with a twist. From Celtic designs to dazzling diamond cut, there is a pattern for each person’s taste. Some careers today do not allow stone set jewellery, so a patterned wedding band could be an excellent choice.

 

 
Two/Three Colour Wedding Bands

 


Multi-coloured wedding bands are definitely rising in popularity. This design of wedding band is an excellent idea for those who love to mix and match different colours of gold. For many this design goes perfectly with 2 tone watches they may also have.  Some partners may wish to have different coloured wedding bands but still wish to match; by choosing a two or three colour ring you can have the best of both. At Johnsons we have the technology to allow customers to create their own bi-colour ring. Simply choose the base metal you wish  from various precious metals, and then pick a sleeve metal to compliment.  This type of wedding band is also available in different finishes and patterns.
