How far in advance should you choose a wedding ring?

We recommend choosing a ring six months in advance of the wedding and no later than three months if at all possible. It generally takes six to eight weeks for a ring to arrive after being ordered. We want you to feel relaxed and comfortable at each stage of your wedding planning process so we recommend giving yourself extra time to avoid additional pressure.

How Much do Gents' Wedding Rings Cost?

The price of a gents' wedding ring varies depending on the metal. Silver rings are a good option for those wearing their rings everyday and for those who want a practical and durable wedding band. Men's Silver wedding rings are priced between €150 and €200.

The Celtic style white and yellow gold men's wedding ring featured in the video is €500.

A 9ct yellow gold men's wedding band starts at around €350 and is a good option for those who do physical work, as any scratches it may get over time can be polished off free of charge.

The most popular men's wedding ring here in Ryan Thomas Jewellers is the 9ct white gold wedding band. They start at around €450.

Platinum and palladium rings are available but the prices vary depending on the precious metals market.

Some Tips for Choosing a Ladies' Wedding Ring

Bring your engagement ring with you, so we can help you choose a wedding ring to suitably match it.

A plain 9ct white or 9ct yellow gold wedding band starts at €350. A diamond set wedding ring starts at around €700. Diamond set wedding rings work really well with solitaire rings. If we don't have a wedding ring in stock to match your engagement ring, our Goldsmith can create a bespoke ring for you. Find more information on bespoke rings here.
