Our Bespoke Wedding Ring Guide
The art of the wedding band: signature style and commissioning guidance.
A beautifully designed wedding ring should feel as though it was always meant to sit beside your engagement ring — enhancing its beauty, balance, and brilliance rather than competing with it.
When creating a bespoke fitted wedding band, the artistry lies in understanding the proportions, setting height, silhouette, and overall character of the engagement ring, so the two pieces move together effortlessly as one.
There are five principal approaches to designing a fitted wedding band, each offering a different way to complement and enhance your engagement ring.
When an engagement ring has been a surprise, the wedding band becomes an opportunity for the recipient to shape the design themselves, collaborating to create a piece that is both deeply personal and beautifully considered.
Each wedding band is meticulously crafted in CAD before production, ensuring the perfect fit can be reviewed and tried on with confidence. Explore Jenna’s wedding ring story below.

The straight wedding ring
A straight chunky wedding band is having a come back, it sits elegantly alongside the engagement ring, offering a timeless and refined look. For this style, it is important to consider the architecture of the engagement ring itself — particularly the height and position of the setting. Ideally, the centre setting should be lifted slightly above the wedding band, allowing the two rings to sit flush together seamlessly.
Straight bands are perfect for those who love:
• Modern classic elegance

Important things to consider…
The Position of the Engagement Ring Setting
The height and placement of the setting will influence what styles are possible. However, in most cases, through design a bespoke solution can be found to complement your engagement ring in the style you like.
Metal Choice Matters
It’s always recommended to create both rings in the same metal carat — for example 18ct gold with 18ct gold, or platinum with platinum. This helps prevent one ring wearing down the other over time and ensures both pieces age consistently together.
The Overall Style & Impact
Consider how you want the finished bridal set to feel:
• Understated and timeless
• Romantic and feminine
• Architectural and contemporary
• High glamour and statement-led
The wedding ring should elevate the personality of the engagement ring while still reflecting your personal style.
Hidden details
Luxury often lies in the details unseen by others:
• Hidden birthstones
• Hand engraving
• Secret diamonds
• Fingerprint or handwritten inscriptions
• Personal motifs worked into the design
These intimate touches make a bespoke piece deeply personal and entirely unique.
Creating Balance
One of the most overlooked aspects of bridal design is proportion, the perfect wedding ring should:
• Enhance the centre stone
• Balance finger coverage
• Feel comfortable for everyday wear
• Sit naturally from every angle
• Look beautiful both stacked and worn independently
True luxury is when the design feels effortless.
A Passion for Solving Wedding Ring Challenges
One of the things I love most about designing bespoke wedding rings is solving the challenges that come with them.
Whether your engagement ring is low set, an unusual shape, vintage, inherited, or you’ve been told a wedding band “can’t” sit properly beside it — there is almost always a beautiful solution.
Creating a ring that fits perfectly while still feeling elegant, balanced, and luxurious is where true bespoke craftsmanship comes to life.
If you would like to arrange an appointment to discuss your wedding rings, explore ideas, or solve a fitting challenge, I would be delighted to help create something designed perfectly for you.
Final Thought
A bespoke wedding ring is not simply designed to fit physically beside an engagement ring — it should feel emotionally connected to it.
The most beautiful bridal sets are the ones where both rings appear entirely intentional, as though they were always destined to exist together.
