Choosing a wedding ring can be a difficult decision to make since most people have limited experience of choosing rings and there are so many possibilities to choose from. We sell a very large range of rings in all sorts of materials and have seen big changes in the last few years.

There has been a move away from Gold (which is actually quite soft) to materials like Titanium and Stainless Steel. These 'new' materials simply out perform the more traditional materials in every way and are far less expensive. In particular these new materials are much stronger, tougher and scratch resistant. This has the big benefit for a person who does a lot of work with their hands; they don't need to take their ring on and off all the time....If you have to take a ring off a lot you will eventually loose it and who needs the hassle?

These new materials are also chemically resistant and hypo allergenic; they won't cause a reaction with you or anything else. Another interesting advantage is the choice of colours on offer....different colours , different emotional feel. If you want a really bright white metal, go for Stainless Steel, the same colour as Platinum but at a fraction of the price and much harder wearing. If you wanting something more subtle go for Titanium, which has a grey appearance. This is further enhanced by having a brushed finish. If you want black, go for Zirconium, a metal that will take on any colour after treating but people mostly want it in black. If you want a ring that will never scratch, choose a Tungsten ring, (only a diamond is harder!)

Another very popular option are mixed metal rings. These new materials are used as the main body of the ring, providing strength and then bands of other metals are cut in. The most popular option for this is a base ring of Titanium (grey) with a bright band of Silver, Platinum or Gold running through it.
