Preparation
Finding the right jewellery for your wedding can feel like a lot. You want something that actually feels like you, strong and well made enough that you'll still be wearing it in thirty years, with your own character built into the metal and the stones rather than picked off a shelf. That's really what I try to give every client who comes to me for their wedding.
I see myself as part of the bigger moments in your life, not just the wedding day itself, so every piece I make is built to mark the achievements and the personality behind it, not just the occasion. Your wedding is one of the biggest days you'll have, and I think the jewellery should genuinely match that.
What is Alternative Bridal Jewellery?
"Alternative wedding" covers a lot of ground, basically anything that isn't the traditional white dress and church ceremony. The word means something different to almost everyone.
To me, alternative bridal jewellery means bespoke, one-of-a-kind pieces, not the standard, generic diamond ring everyone else is wearing. Personalised jewellery lets you actually express who you are, rather than pick from what's already on the shelf.
Why You Should Choose Alternative Bridal Jewellery
Whether you've been picturing your ring since you were a child or you have no idea where to start, I'd bet that above everything else, you want something different from what everyone around you has. That's exactly what alternative bridal jewellery gives you.
Working with me means support through the whole process, from choosing the right gemstones and design, to how I protect the stones, to personal touches like engravings or birthstones.
If you want to explore this further, I've written two guides, one on gemstones and one on design, that go into more depth on the components of fine jewellery.
A signet ring is a sharp option for a wedding band for him. It's a design with a genuine connection to royalty and a long history behind it, which makes it a fitting choice for a piece that carries real sentiment. Whether you want a plain gold signet, a simple engraving, or one set with gemstones, I can help you get there. Read more about them in my blog on signets.
Every Last Detail
I care about getting every detail of your experience with me right, including the piece itself. The small details are usually the ones that make the real difference.
Engravings, monograms, or a personal gemstone all take a piece further, and they're what actually turn it into something you'll want passed down, not just worn. That's a piece worth treasuring daily and one that carries forward.
A customised velvet ring box is worth considering too, it looks good, and it genuinely protects the piece as well. I go into more detail on caring for your jewellery in my Spring Cleaning guide.
