Take our 5mm Round Diamond Wedding Ring as an example of a diamond wedding ring. The subtle, yet eye catching centered stone is wrapped by a sophisticated gold metal, which would perfectly compliment any man's style.

Our 5mm Flat Court Wedding Ring is the perfect representation of the traditional plain wedding ring design amongst men. The larger flat court profile allows for customisation to the durable metal with the option to have a personalised message in the ring, which can be a personal and loving message or a significant date to you and your loved one, making it a perfect symbol of your love for each other.
