Crucial Advice on Choosing Wedding Rings Online
So, how do you go about successfully purchasing your unusual wedding rings online? Here, we have put together an in-depth article that covers all the issues and potential pitfalls you may encounter when buying wedding rings using this method. Remember, we are here to help you, and with over 10 years of experience selling wedding rings online, we know this subject inside and out.
Buying your wedding rings online
Buying your wedding rings online will be something entirely new to most of us, and it is crucial that you get everything correct right from the start. Wedding rings are typically made to order for most couples to show their devotion to one another. 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 their wedding rings at a very late stage in their wedding preparations. Wedding planning is key to everything going smoothly, and you should purchase your rings well in advance of your wedding day. We recommend allowing at least two months, and maybe longer if you can, when deciding on your wedding rings and making the initial purchase. However, at Love2Have, we are very flexible and have turned around some of our made-to-order rings in as little as 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 can help you out, whatever the reason, even very, very tight deadlines. We once had a couple contact us two days before a wedding after such an incident, and managed to post out both rings on time. The rings were both made to order to the highest quality from titanium and saved the day.
The imported wedding rings that you find in the high street stores and chains are, in our opinion, rather samey. At Love2Have, we can cater to your individual needs by providing something entirely different from the norm, yet of very high quality. Why not browse our site to find a wedding ring made in the UK that you can fall in love with, whether it's a new titanium ring or something more traditional, like gold or silver. Check out our titanium wedding rings or wooden inlay wedding rings, too. There is no need to be nervous about buying a wedding ring online.
We do know that one of the most significant concerns is that of getting your finger size measured correctly. Firstly, let us 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 the above methods can be very inaccurate.
Getting your wedding ring size correct
Another problem we encounter from time to time is high street stores deliberately informing customers of the wrong finger size. We think that if, for some reason, the assistant at the shop realises you don't intend to buy from them, they will give you the wrong ring size. There is one particular High Street name that has been regularly mentioned to us and has become a repeat offender with this service. For legal reasons, we can't shame this store, but you will find them in most town centres.
So, how do you find your correct ring size? To overcome these issues, we aim to make the ring sizing process easy and hassle-free for our customers to purchase their dream wedding ring online.
Since all our rings are made to order, if customers are unsure about the size, we can send out a professional wedding ring sizer so they can measure their fingers in the comfort of their home. Ring sizing is essential, 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, so rings can become loose and fall off if they're too big.
Our wedding ring after-sales service
We offer customers a guarantee and 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 are always prone to scratching, no matter which retailer you purchase your rings from, as they are, after all, just metals. If looked after carefully, these rings will last you a lifetime, but we would suggest avoiding heavy gardening work, etc. If any retailer indicates otherwise, you are misinformed. Our after-sales service for customers includes polishing and refinishing.
Love2Have specialises in handcrafted jewellery, with many of our ring designs being wider than those on the high street. Broad rings are becoming increasingly popular as wedding rings, but you may need at least one size bigger if opting for a ring over 5mm wide. As many of our custom designs cannot be resized, it is doubly important to get the size right from the outset.
Our advice to those looking to purchase wedding rings from us is not to add to the stress of the wedding preparations by leaving your rings until the last minute. Give us plenty of time to ensure the sizing is correct so that we can get the rings made with time to spare.
Stand out from the crowd, find your unique wedding ring, and know that you are supporting small, independent designers based here in the UK who make beautiful, handcrafted pieces of jewellery.
