Diamond Wedding Rings Partnership Rings

Our Unique Diamond Wedding Rings Partnership Rings are hand made in our Ditching workshops in Sussex. Working in all precious metals: platinum, 18ct and 9ct gold in white, rose and yellow we can match your wedding ring to your existing engagement ring so that both compliment each other perfectly.

A wedding band these days can break with tradition and does not need to be just a simple band of precious metal, it can be set with diamonds to give it that extra sparkle. Diamonds are ideal for this because of their hardness. We can also incorporate other coloured gemstones. Aquamarine or pink sapphire make a subtle combination, where sapphire or ruby a more striking contrast.

You could choose to have your wedding ring with diamonds set all the way around the band but we also make them with a 60% or 40% spread: Both appear as a full spread of gemstones from the front. Our designers can suggest what will look best with your existing engagement ring and also make sure that the new ring will not cause any damage or be damaged by your existing ring.

We use several setting styles for our diamond wedding rings partnership rings. A rub-over setting surrounds a stone emphasising it’s shape. Our new collection utilises this effect by mixing different shapes such as an alternating princess cut diamond with a round brilliant cut.

A claw set wedding ring creates a ring that appears to be made of only diamonds or the gemstones that they are mixed with.

Channel setting creates a linear look to the diamonds with a metal edge emphasising this.

Pave setting combines the claw set look with the neatness of the channel setting, ideal if you like the look of a channel set ring but have a claw set engagement ring. Micro setting utilises carved claws like pave setting but leaves no edge to the diamonds more like a claw set wedding ring and is very useful for setting tiny diamonds in very narrow rings.

It is now popular to “flush set” diamonds into a band of your choice. We do this in a number of designs from evenly spaced to scatter generously around the ring using up to one hundred gemstones.

Our handmade wedding rings and civil partnership rings will remind you of your wedding day and the special bond that you share with your partner for the rest of your life.

Brighton Pride is Nearly Here…

Brighton Pride 2013 is looking like it is becoming the biggest and best of all the parades we have ever had. Excitement is really building now, with many top acts being confirmed with more to come!

Among the acts already confirmed are the beautiful and talented Paloma Faith, the world famous Alison Moyet, the newly famous but fantastically talented Lucy Spraggan. Stooshe are also in the line up and more to come…

Let’s hope the weather is great on 3 August, when there will be the parade, live acts and plenty of food, drink, frivolity and amazing sights!

With Brighton Pride kicking of at 12pm it will give you plenty of time to call in to Pruden and Smith beforehand and make it a double celebration! How about collecting the engagement ring you have ordered beforehand and making that special proposal at Brighton Pride 2013? How fantastic would that be!

Or perhaps a handmade eternity ring or stunning dress ring would be more appropriate to tell that special person in your life how much you love them? Or perhaps you could collect your partnership rings, the choice of celebration is entirely up to you!

Our hearts and charms range would also be really applicable to match the joy, love and celebration of Brighton Pride, so please pop in on your way through.

We look forward to seeing you…

Wedding Rings for Men

Well, we are arriving at that time of year, when the final stages of planning a summer wedding are coming into play. With the flowers organised, the dress sorted and the catering booked, one of the last things to order are normally the wedding rings.

Many brides will normally be involved in most of the organisation, with men being mainly just included for the ordering of the wedding rings! Wedding rings for men, historically have been fairly plain, with most men opting for something that will fit in with daily life and will also mean that it won’t get caught or be in the way. An easy life perhaps? Well we can’t comment on that at all….but what we do know is that we have some really stylish options for wedding rings for men, as well as for women.

At Pruden and Smith in Ditchling, near Brighton in East Sussex, we design and create our own stunning ranges of jewellery and receive many enquiries from men who live around Brighton, Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill and even customers who come down from London to view our jewellery collections. We have posted a few of our designs on this blog post, but please feel free to look through our other designs of wedding rings for men.

Please don’t forget that if you can’t find the exact style of wedding ring you are looking for, then you are welcome to speak to Rebecca, our designer, who can guide you through our commissioning your own wedding ring or other fine piece of jewellery.

We look forward to welcoming you into our workshop in Ditchling…

Men’s Wedding Rings

These days, men’s wedding rings do not have to be just the classic gold wedding band. Of course this is something we design and sell, but we also pride ourselves in creating some rather sleek and stylish designs as well, if the men who visit us would like to choose a wedding ring that is a little different. As the norm is that men do not have an engagement ring, (but we do actually have some rather lovely designs that men are now going for) many of our discerning clients will now choose a wedding ring that sits really well alone on a finger and just looks great!

Our Oxidised Silver And Diamond Band is one of our longest standing wedding rings for men as it is chunky, stylish and looks really original. This is a silver band and holds many baguette diamonds, making it just that little bit special and looks great being slipped on your finger on your wedding day.

Or how about one of our Turned Flat Wedding Rings? They are a take on the classic wedding band for men but look just a little different. They have a bevelled edge and can be made in platinum or gold. A wonderfully stylish choice and always really popular as a wedding band for a man.

Our Side hammered rings are another perfect choice for a man’s wedding ring – chunky but not too much, super stylish and very current. It is a wonderful design and can be made in either white gold or platinum. This is one of many choices of wedding ring for men and having a glossy look will really stand out on your wedding finger.

The Turned Stripe Ring is another real favourite. It can be made in pretty much any precious metal you choose and can also be in two widths. So if you would like a pair of matching wedding rings but the engaged couple want different sizings then this is an ideal choice. A sophisticated ring that will last a lifetime!

2 colour hammered gold wedding rings

These are but a few of our delightful choice of mens wedding rings. If you have any questions or want to chat about a style with Rebecca Smith, our designer, then please call us on 01273 846338. Either that or pop in – you can have a browse through our lovely collections of jewellery and see what you would like. Our workshop is just outside Brighton in East Sussex and very easy to find, in a little village called Ditchling.

We can help you with the design and give loads of advice on wedding rings for men. We look forward to seeing you….

Handmade Wedding Rings

When choosing a wedding ring, there are many decisions to make:

Do you choose a classic wedding band? Which carat of gold do you choose? Which precious metal? Does it need to be shaped to fit around your stunning engagement ring? Do you want diamonds in your wedding ring?

5mm side hammered wedding rings

These are just some of the questions you need to be able to ask yourself when choosing your wedding ring, that will hopefully last you a lifetime.

We have selected a few handmade wedding rings to show you on our blog posting today, that are not the normal classic wedding ring. They are a little bit more unusual and you can definitely see that they are handmade wedding rings. They sit beautifully with some of our more chunky jewellery, or are just happy resting on your finger all by themselves. They have a very interesting look and this is the type of ring we are now being asked a lot about.

Wedding Ring with Twist in Platinum Diamonds

Men especially like this style of handmade wedding ring as it has a style of it’s own and is something to chat about about! These designs are some of our favorites at Pruden and Smith as much of our jewellery favors the rustic and random form that these wedding rings take. You only have to look at our famous Nugget range to see why we like these wedding rings!

So the next step is to give us a call on 01273 846338 to have a chat about what we can offer you. You could always commission your own handmade wedding ring if you would like something truly unique!

We look forward to seeing you soon…
