Our guide to choosing your wedding ring online

How do you successfully purchase a wedding ring online? Buying your contemporary wedding rings on line will be something quite new to most of us and its important that you get everything correct right from the start as wedding rings tend to be a made to order item for most couples in order to show there devotion to one another. This is a big decision and at first buying your wedding rings online seems like a bad idea but the advantages do come to light once you look into this option a little further.

It never ceases to amaze us how many of our customers decide to order there wedding rings at a very late stage in the preparations for there wedding. Wedding planning is key to everything going smoothly and you should plan the purchase of your rings well in advance to your wedding day. We would recommend to allow at least two months and maybe longer if you can when it comes to deciding upon your wedding rings and making the initial purchase. Having said that however, at Love2Have we are very flexible and have managed to turn around some of our made to order rings within the space of a week. Usually this is down to another jeweller letting these couples down so if you find yourself in this situation don't despair we may be able to help you out for whatever reason.

The wedding rings that you find in the High Street stores and chains are mainly imported and in our opinion all look rather samey. At Love2Have we can cater for your individual needs by providing you with something quite different from the norm but also of a very high quality. Why not browse our site to find a wedding ring made in the UK that you can really fall in love with whether it be a modern ring in titanium or steel or something more traditional in say gold or silver. There really is no need to be nervous about buying a wedding ring online.

We do know that one of the biggest concerns is that of getting your finger size measured correctly. Firstly lets look at all of the wrong ways to go about this. Don't use bits of string or paper to guess your ring size. Don't download any scales off the internet to print out - the ones with circular holes that you cut out and slip your fingers into and finally avoid the cheap plastic scales given away for free from some websites. All these above methods can be very inaccurate.

Another problem we are encountering from time to time is that of high street stores deliberately informing customers of there wrong finger size. We think that if for some reason the assistant at the store realises that you intend not to buy from them, then they give you the incorrect ring size. There is one particular high street name that has been mentioned a number of times to us now who has become a repeat offender of this service. For legal reason we cant name this store but you will find them in most town centres Mrs Jones.

So how do you go about finding you correct ring size? To overcome these issues, we aim to make the ring sizing process easy for our customers and make it hassle free for them to purchase their dream wedding ring online.

Since all our rings are made to order, if customers really are unsure about size we send out professional wide wedding ring sizers so that they have the opportunity of measuring their fingers in the comfort of their own home. This is important as having your finger measured just once is only a snapshot in time and that measurement could be as much as a whole size out since your fingers change shape throughout the day. Hands swell in the heat and your fingers are slightly larger in the afternoon. Cold weather makes your hands shrink and rings will become loose and could fall off and be lost if the ring is too big to start with.

We do offer customers a guarantee and also an after sales service. If for example a stone were to fall out we would need to inspect the ring for damage of course.

Gold and silver is all ways prone to scratching no matter which retailer you were to purchase your rings from as they are only metals after all. If looked after carefully these rings will last you a life time but we would suggest avoiding heavy gardening work etc. If any retailer suggests otherwise you have been misinformed. Our after sales service for customers includes polishing a refinishing.

Love2have specialises in handcrafted jewellery with many of our ring designs being wider than those on the high street. The wider rings are becoming increasingly popular as wedding rings but you may need at least one size bigger if opting for a ring over 5 mm wide. As many of our custom designs cannot be re-sized it is doubly important right from the outset, to get the size correct.

Our advice to those looking to purchase wedding rings from us, is don??t add to the stress of the wedding preparations by leaving your rings until the last minute. Give us plenty of time to ensure sizing is correct so that we can get their ring made with time to spare.

Stand out from the crowd, find your special wedding ring and know that you are supporting small independent designers based here in the UK making beautiful handcrafted pieces of jewellery.
