Book a consultation

A diamond wedding ring sits beside your engagement ring for the rest of its life, so the two should read as one. Every band here is designed in CAD and finished by hand in our Hatton Garden workshop, with casting and setting carried out by specialist workshops. The choices that matter are setting style, how far the stones travel across the band, and how closely the diamonds match what you already wear.

Setting styles

The setting decides how a band looks and how it wears. Channel setting holds the diamonds between two walls of metal, giving a smooth profile that resists knocks and snags, which suits hands that work. Pave sets small stones close together for near-continuous light across the surface. Claw or grain setting lifts each diamond a little higher, so more of the stone is open to the light, at the cost of a slightly more exposed surface.

Channel: protected, smooth to the touch, low-maintenance.
Pave: maximum surface sparkle, finer metalwork.
Claw or grain: each stone more visible, brighter, marginally more exposed.

Half eternity or full eternity

A half eternity carries stones across the top of the band only. It is comfortable against the finger, sits flush with most engagement rings, and can be resized later without disturbing the diamonds. A full eternity runs stones the whole way round for sparkle from every angle, but the continuous setting means it cannot be resized, so we confirm your size with you before it is made. If you like the all-round look but want flexibility, our eternity rings page covers the same ground in more detail.

Matching the engagement ring

The wedding band should agree with the engagement ring on colour, diamond size and metal. We match the new stones against the ones you already own so they sit at a similar colour and brightness rather than clashing under the same light. Both natural and laboratory-grown diamonds are available with independent grading reports, and a laboratory-grown stone is the same material as a mined one, simply made in a different place. Diamond is the hardest gem in everyday wear, though any stone can chip on a hard, direct blow.

Metals and the eternity crossover

We work in platinum and gold, matched to your existing ring so the two wear evenly over the years. Platinum is dense and holds a setting securely; 18ct gold is warmer in tone and comes in yellow, white and rose. A diamond band ordered as a wedding ring often returns as an anniversary or eternity ring later, which is why we keep your specification on file. Diamond-set wedding bands start from around £1,500.

To review stone options and design a band around your engagement ring, book a consultation at our private studio in The Goldsmiths' Centre, or read more about our approach to bespoke engagement rings. If you are designing both rings together, you can begin the engagement ring in our ring builder.

Common questions

Can a diamond wedding ring be resized?

A half eternity has plain metal underneath, so a change of size is sometimes possible; we look at each ring first. A full eternity cannot be resized, because the stones run all the way round, so we confirm your size with you before it is made.

Are laboratory-grown diamonds suitable for a wedding ring?

Yes. A laboratory-grown diamond has the same hardness and appearance as a mined one and can be supplied with an independent grading report. The choice usually comes down to budget and preference. We are happy to talk through both options with you.
