Aurum Designer Jewellers talk gold band alternatives

If you want an unusual wedding, that’s perfect for you, it probably doesn’t exist…yet! The answer is to go bespoke. This gives you the opportunity to control every aspect of the design, including material, width, depth, profile, texture and finish. At a design consultation you can tell the goldsmith about any ideas you may already have. The designer will need to learn about your taste and lifestyle, along with any likes and dislikes, so will ask questions while offering ideas and suggestions. Gradually, a design for your dream ring will take shape. 

If you have an engagement ring this needs to be taken into account too, as it’s important that the two work well together. If you and your partner have similar tastes, it’s easy to come up with matching designs. However, even if you have totally different styles it’s usually still possible to pick up on at least one feature that can be incorporated into both. 

So, by the end of your design consultation you’ll have the blueprint for a pair of unique rings, perfect for you and your intended. If you decide to order, your rings will then be handmade just for you.

Brits are swapping the 'big day' for the 'right day' as searches for intimate wedding venues soar

Couples are increasingly choosing quality time over large guest lists, with new search data revealing a growing demand for intimate weddings and stylish registry office ceremonies. According to Google search data analysed by Suit Direct, searches for "small intimate wedding venues near me" have increased by 86% year-on-year, while interest in "micro wedding packages" has risen 23% over the past three months, suggesting more couples are opting for meaningful celebrations that prioritise the experience over extravagance. For many, the legal ceremony is no longer just the paperwork before the "real" wedding.
