vintage ring

We know that Christmas can blind-sight those who have their wedding day booked for 2017 so Aurus London is ready and waiting in January to find you the perfect wedding rings. What we would recommend because of this, is to book your appointment in early. That way you know that it's sorted and you won't be disappointed when you come to choose your wedding ring.

All of our rings are tailor-made at Aurus London, so we do need atleast 5-6 weeks notice to start making them, so our first advise is do not leave them too late! If you can have them ready to try on a month before your wedding day that is ideal, this allows for size

What we recommend at Aurus for home cleaning of an Aurus Diamond engagement ring, is washing up liquid in warm water and a very soft old toothbrush. If you lather up the washing liquid, this will act as a de-greaser
