The Wedding Rings - Custom made
Posted on January 10, 2008 in the General Wedding Plans category
Me and Dave went to visit Birmingham’s famour Jewellery Quarter the other day. After about 30 mins in the first shop we stepped foot in, we had already picked out our wedding rings. Now thats what I call getting things done. Its not all over yet. We both know what design we want for our wedding rings now its just a case of getting the best price. After coming out of the 1st jewellers we went into another one which we decided we would try and get a quote for exactly the same rings. The guy said that he would get back to us with a quote and hopefully he will beat the 1st jewellers.
I found a picture online of the ring that I want made, although the one picture is a 5mm and I want a 3mm.
The one in the picture is a flat court but I want a D shaped court or a court.
For those of you who don’t know what court and D shaped are…………..btw Dave had no idea but after that visit he learnt something new.
D-shape wedding rings are flat on the inside and rounded on the outside.
Court shape wedding rings are rounded on the inside and rounded on the outside.
We both want our wedding rings made in Platinum but Dave asked me whats the pros and cons of having platinum instead of white gold. I will write a post about this in my tips/review category.
Dave’s wedding ring will be the “male version” to my ring. He will have a court ring in matt finish and instead of having diamonds he will have a band of polished platinum.
So both rings will look similar to this picture but with curved edges and also mine will be in polished platinum to go with my engagement ring.

I like ur ring designs, very elegant and classy. I want something similar for my wedding band too.
Thank you Carolyn, I’m very surprised that we managed to design something so quick as me and my fiance are both quite indecisive at times.
Wish you luck on your quest for wedding rings.
its also quite interesting how much the price can vary from shop to shop. very import to do research and shop around
Hi, I was wondering wat your wedding ring and engagement ring look together, have u got a picture?
Because iam finding it difficult to find a ring to suit my engagement ring.
BTW…..Platinum says Shiny forever, White Gold is Rhodium plated, after some time the White gold will deteriate, and would need to be replated again.
Hi Lisa,
Thanks for leaving a comment. My engagement ring is a 4 claw solitare (north east south west claws), with the wedding ring on, it hasn’t got a massive gap between it. I don’t have any pictures to show you. What is your engagement ring like??
I got a tip from the lady who works at the jewellers, she said some women wear their engagement rings on their right hand after they’re married so that may solve your problem.
Yup, you’re right about platinum and white gold which is why we’re having platinum for our rings.
Good luck with the search
We love this ring very much can we have it by 22K
Thx,
