Wedding Bands Perth

A band that sits flush with your engagement ring

The question we hear most is not about fashion. It is whether the two rings will sit together without a gap, pinch the finger, or fight each other at the sink. Often they can, when the band is shaped to the engagement ring's profile. A straight band can leave a gap against a curved or low-set shank.

Flush fit is a making decision. We look at how the engagement ring sits on the finger, where the setting rises, and whether a slight contour or a fitted notch will close the gap without weakening either ring. Some vintage or tension settings will never sit perfectly flush, and we say so before any metal is committed.

Bring the ring in. The profile on the bench tells us more than a photograph ever will, and a ring that has settled on the hand behaves differently from one still in a box.

Bands for rings we did not make

We measure the profile, metal and width of your existing engagement ring, then make a band that belongs with it. We do not need to have made the original ring, and we do not need the original jeweller's drawings.

What we do need is the piece in the room. Metals vary in colour even when both are called yellow gold, and widths that look matched in a photo can stack poorly on a real finger.

Men's wedding bands

Width, comfort-fit, metal and finish are chosen for daily wear. Many grooms match the metal of the engagement ring; others prefer a different width in the same colour. Both are normal.

Comfort-fit means the inner surface is slightly rounded so the band rolls over the knuckle more kindly. It is the usual choice for a ring worn through work, swimming and sleep. Widths in our workshop typically run from a discreet four millimetres through to a more present six or seven, depending on finger length and how the wearer uses their hands.

Wedding band styles made in Cottesloe

Most couples choose between a plain band, a band shaped around the engagement ring, and a diamond set band. Each is made in our Cottesloe workshop in 18ct yellow, white or rose gold or 950 platinum, and each wears differently over decades.

• Plain bands, in a flat or comfort-fit profile, polished or brushed
• Contoured or notched bands, shaped to sit flush against a curved or low-set engagement ring
• Half eternity bands, with diamonds across the face of the finger and plain metal beneath for comfort and later resizing
• Full eternity bands, with diamonds all the way around, sized with extra care because the shank cannot move far
• Men's bands, usually four to seven millimetres wide, chosen for daily wear and the shape of the hand

Metals and finishes

The cleanest pairing is the same metal family as the engagement ring: 18ct yellow with 18ct yellow, platinum with platinum. White gold can sit beside platinum, but platinum stays white without rhodium, while white gold will need replating as it wears.

Finish matters as much as colour. A high polish next to a brushed engagement shank can look intentional or accidental. We match or deliberately contrast once we have both pieces in daylight.

When to order wedding bands

After the proposal is typical. Most bands are simpler than a full engagement commission, but they still need design agreement, metal and making time: allow workshop weeks, not days, especially before spring and summer weddings when the bench fills.

Tell us the ceremony date at the first appointment and we will say honestly what is achievable, including a temporary band if the finished pair will land close to the day.
