The court shape is the most popular profile for weddings due to it’s comfortable fit. Both sides are slightly rounded meaning it sits neatly on your finger without pressing in to close to the skin.
FLAT COURT
A flat court wedding ring has a more modern look with the top side being flat while the inside is slightly rounded for a more comfortable fit on your finger.

THE FOUR C’s
The 4 C’s- Cut, Clarity, Colour and Carat- are all important elements to take into account when purchasing your wedding ring. Here’s a brief recap on what each one means:
CARAT
Carat refers to the weight of a diamond. Diamonds are all weighed in metric carats rather than grams or ounces. This is a standard industry practice around the world.
Diamond is expressed to the hundredth of a carat. Carat weight of less than a carat is expressed in points. So, for example, a 0.75ct diamond will be 75 points. Most jewellers will refer to carat weight in this terminology.
Another way to explain this would be using pounds, 100 pence equals 1 whole pound. Therefore 50pts will be 0.50ct and so on.
A common misconception is that it refers to the physical size of a diamond, which is incorrect. The diamond weight does not govern the size of stone.
We always recommend trying a range of carat weight on to determine which will be best for you. This way you will also be able to assess the visible size.
COLOUR
When searching for your perfect diamond, one of the C’s to consider during this process is the Colour. Usually, people tend to choose a diamond with the least amount of colour, as it shows the purity of colour and rarity of quality.
The diamond colour grading system is based on an alphabetised system, starting from ‘D’, meaning the diamond is completely free of any colour, all the way to ‘Z’, meaning there is a visible tint of colour in the diamond.
To see a difference in colour between two diamonds, you usually have to compare at least three colour grades (i.e, E Colour and a H Colour).
CLARITY
This will determine the number of natural inclusions that are inside the diamond. The higher the quality (such as VS1 or VVS1) will mean there are less inclusions, and the light is able to refract out of the diamond better than a lower clarity (such as SI2 or I1).
FAIR CUTS

EXCELLENT & VERY GOOD CUTS
CUT
The way the diamond is cut will determine the sparkle and brilliance of the diamond. An excellent cut will reflect the optimum amount of light that enters the diamond. Lower quality cuts, such as good or poor, won’t reflect as much light and lack lustre.
PRECIOUS METALS
The metal you choose should suit not only your partner’s style, but also showcase the diamond. Yellow Gold is a traditional choice and warming to most skin tones.
Platinum has become one of the most popular metals to be used in wedding ring. Platinum is a naturally white coloured metal, meaning it will not tarnish and lose its brilliance. Platinum is also a very rare metal that is only mined in a few select areas of the world, making it a more expensive metal in comparison to Gold and Palladium.
Platinum will also enhance the colour of a diamond and its natural sparkle.
Platinum is usually hallmarked at ‘950’, meaning it is 95% pure platinum with the remaining 5% usually being palladium, iridium ruthenium and other alloys. Platinum is also a great choice for those who have contact allergies, as the purity of the platinum reduces the likelihood of any irritation during wear.
As with all metals, Platinum can scratch, however with proper care the wear should be minimal and can be polished again to return the metal to its original look.
This pink hue gold originally gained popularity in the 1920’s, then made a big comeback in the 2010’s. The unique blush tone of Rose Gold is created by mixing gold with copper. As all our gold wedding bands are 18kt gold, the composition will be 75% gold, with 25% copper. A Rose Gold diamond wedding ring gives an elegance that not all metals can achieve.
White Gold is still an incredibly popular choice of metal for wedding ring settings. White Gold has the same overall appearance as Platinum, however it has a brighter ‘white shine’ and is less expensive than Platinum.
White gold is naturally an off-white colour, usually with a slight yellow tint. This is because white gold is usually mixed with palladium or magnesium.
To give white gold the trademark brightness, it is plated with rhodium or iridium. This plating will wear over time and return to its natural colour, however can be polishing and replated to return the metal to its former glory.
Yellow Gold is a classic and timeless metal choice for any wedding ring setting. For thousands of years, yellow gold has been used in jewellery for its warmth in colour and its resistance to erosion. The colour of the gold is determined by what other metal alloys are mixed with it, such as copper and zinc.
