Finding the perfect wedding ring can be tricky when you go out for your first shopping trip, and quickly realise that a straight band does not fit next to your beautiful engagement ring. All of your preconceived thoughts about how your wedding ring would look can go flying out the window, and you might feel lost and overwhelmed at the prospect of considering another style.

At Aurus London we make it our aim to find you the perfect wedding ring, a ring that you didn't even know existed is sat in our London showroom waiting for you to find it.

The world of engagement rings can seem very linear, with expensive price tags on 'aspirational' designs, and diamonds in every single part of the ring. So it's not surprising that if you don't have thousands to spend on a ring, that the High street seems to be the best place to try and meet in the middle, pretty designs, with a low price tag, because anywhere else will be too expensive, but we are here to tell you that it ain't so!

At Aurus London, we create bespoke engagement rings, to fit you, and whilst the word 'Bespoke' eludes to super high end out of budget jewellery, with us this is not true.

We design around budget, design preferences and personal tastes, whilst never compromising

Non-traditional engagement rings are the flavour of the month, with holidays booked and ideas flowing, we are here to help you find the perfect engagement ring/engagement pendant/engagement jewellery. We are here to tell you that a diamond engagement ring, and even a ring full stop is not the only way to ask someone 'Will you marry me'

The possibilities are endless when you start looking at engagement rings and you will see the same style crop up on Pinterest and the like, but if you know that your partner would want something sentimental and unique,

How much are you supposed to spend on an engagement ring?

This is probably one of the most common first questions you will research and ask friends, when you decide to embark on finding an engagement ring to ask the big question with. So here at Aurus London we have put together some key points to consider when budgeting for your engagement ring. Once you have a decided budget, it will become less daunting when it comes to designing, as at Aurus London we will always design around your budget and create the perfect ring to suit you.

Question number 1: Are you

Having been in the wedding ring industry through many peak engagement ring periods we know that after Christmas is one of the busiest times for the 'big ring shopping trip'.

We know that it is a daunting one after seeing your friends and loved ones getting engaged over the festive period, and subtle comments about liking, or not liking the rings that are popping up on your social media feed can leave you feeling a bit swamped. So at Aurus London we ensure that we take you back to square one, and talk about what you personally like, and what your partner loves, currently wears, and maybe has pinned

The idea of engagement rings costing 3 months of wages is a marketing ploy to get you to spend more in specialist jewellers, but we at Aurus London are hear to tell you that you do not have to sacrifice quality by going to high street jewellers to find your engagement ring, just because you think that you won't be able to afford anything else. Any ring specialist worth their weight in gold (excuse us) will be able to create any engagement ring to fit any budget, and that is exactly what we do.

The way that we differ to high street jewellers is that we do not sacrifice quality for quantity, all of our engagement rings are tailored and made to

We use your engagement ring as the mould to fit your wedding ring perfectly next to it, ensuring the most comfortable fit and perfect matching set of wedding ring and engagement 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

When it comes to beginning your wedding ring search the most useful starting point is your engagement ring. If it has a vintage design, antique in era, or you want to add detail to a solitaire diamond engagement ring, vintage wedding rings are always a favourite.

At Aurus we have a huge selection of vintage style wedding rings, and a bespoke design service to create your dream wedding ring in our London showroom. We have art-deco inspired mill-grain and baguette diamond wedding rings, alongside patterned wedding rings with mill-grain edges. Don't automatically think that vintage
