18ct white gold eco wedding rings for Valentines weekend


This set of personalised 6mm and 7mm 18ct recycled white gold wedding rings were commissioned at the very last minute by a lovely couple tying the knot in Cornwall just after this Valentines weekend. 


 I hand forged them from 100% white gold bullion refined and milled here in the UK.

options are available,but I'm afraid I just don't
 find they come up to scratch)

 Despite the storms, the flood, 48 hour power cuts, and the Post Office's best efforts to stop them, these beauties arrived at their destination, with three hours to go before the wedding ceremony.  One relieved jeweller!  The happy couple were delighted, and I was absolutely thrilled to make these rings for them.
