Wedding bands sometimes feels like that one thing as your wedding day approaches that gets forgotten. The focus is on the big day itself... are the flowers ordered, how is the dress fitting going, have all the guests RSVP'd? Wedding bands often become an after thought, and we get it - there's a lot to think about in terms of the style you'll want as well as the cost to add to the never-ending list. 

Our aim at The Jewellery Studio is to make the process as enjoyable and effortless as possible. Ensuring that you leave us with wedding bands you are going to love for a lifetime. We've asked our followers for the biggest questions they have when wedding band shopping and compiled them into this to the point post. It's our way of helping you feel reassured about the whole process and to not delay getting those wedding bands a moment longer!

So here is our...

Top Eight Most Asked Questions about Wedding Bands

Question One: How can we personalise our wedding bands to make them unique to us?

> We specialise in creating one-of-a-kind pieces tailored to our customers personal preferences and style. A few ways we can incorporate meaningful elements into your wedding bands include: 

• adding gemstones e.g you and your partners birthstone,
• engraving of initials, names or significant dates,
• using sentimental gold to make your wedding bands

However you choose to customise your bands, we will advice and guide you through the design process.

Question Two: How do you ensure that my wedding band will be durable?

> Wedding bands are made to be worn everyday. With this in mind we will advise you on durable metals such as Gold or Platinum as well as metal thickness. We always recommend using the same metal for your wedding band as your engagement ring to avoid unnecessary wearing. 

> We also offer a free examine of your wedding band at anytime to assess metal wear and stone settings to provide you with peace of mind.

Question Three: Is your gold ethically and sustainably sourced?

> We only use gold of Single Mine Origin to ensure our gold comes from fully traceable mines. Our gold suppliers adhere to the strictest internationally recognised responsibility standards, such as the World Gold Council's Responsible Gold Mining Principles (RGMP's), IRMA and ICMM Principles. 

> As well as this our reputable gold suppliers specialise in sustainable options, which include Fair Mined, Fair Trade and recycled precious metals. 

> You can find more on this at: singlemineorigin.com as well as ask us more about this in the studio. 

Question Four: I don't have a big wedding band budget - can I still get bespoke wedding bands?

> We specialise in working with couples to meet a budget while still creating a band that is unique to them. A plain wedding band can start from as low as £250 and then will increase depending on metal carat, thickness and any other bespoke elements. We will always be transparent in pricing and discuss with you options to create your bespoke wedding band while still meeting a budget.

> Often we have customers who will create their wedding band with us and then return to add more personalised elements such as additional gemstones or engraving. 

> Top Tip: If you have any scrap gold this can either be incorporated into the bands or used to offset the cost. 

Question Five: What is the first step to designing wedding bands?

> Have a look at different styles either by visiting us in person or looking online at our Wedding Band Guide. Once you've built up on idea of what you like/don't like we can then talk through ideas during a consultation and from there begin bringing your design to life.

Question Six: What is the recommended timeframe for making bespoke wedding bands?

> If you want to create wedding bands with personalised features we recommend giving at least 6 weeks from first consultation.

Question Seven: Can you make a wedding band to fit around my engagement ring?

> Yes, using state of the art technology we are able to 3D scan your engagement ring and then build a bespoke wedding band around it using our Computer-Aided Design technology. This means that no matter what the shape of your engagement ring - the wedding band can fit snugly against it.

Question Eight: How do we make your experience special?

> Each wedding band made with us comes with a sentimental poem from local poet @wordsbyelle__ that you choose, as well as a complimentary bottle of wine, polishing cloth and chocolates ~ what a treat!
