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.

 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.

More wedding ring finishes - recycled white gold

I've finally got around to photographing some gold rings as they are ready to send out - so I can upload some more pictures to show the different finishes I do.   Here are two chunky 6mm x 2mm flat section hand forged 14K recycled white gold bands that I was commissioned to make recently - the first has a satin brushed finish, the other is hammered with a light soft brush polish finish.

Below is an adjustable recycled white gold wedding band, 5mm x 2mm flat section (I make this in a range of widths, stamped and unstamped) which is great for people who need a little flexibility in their ring due to swollen joints, (or just uniquely shaped joints!).  This has a high polish finish, but with some marks of the forging process left which gives it a unique organic texture and look.
