WE ARE HERE TO HELP YOU CHOOSE YOUR RINGS
CHOOSING AN ENGAGEMENT RING
Here at Molten we choose to use 0.25ct GVS diamonds as standard. They have a beautiful bright sparkle while remaining practical to wear. We can of course create a Molten engagement ring with any size diamond. We would be happy to quote for this: just get in touch. Platinum is the hardest wearing metal but if you are considering gold here is a guide as to how to choose the right metal for you and your lifestyle. If you want more information about diamonds then see our blog on choosing diamonds.
CHOOSING A WEDDING RING
When choosing your ring style many factors can affect your decision. See our blog post on choosing wedding rings.
If you have an engagement ring to match you may want us to look at the depth of your ring, we can see which ring will sit alongside it comfortably. If you have one of our engagement rings we would suggest matching the band or going with one of these combinations: Taw & Tavy or Bray & Yeo.
The width of a ring is personal preference, we are happy to send a sample of a ring that you would like to try for £40 which includes posting to you and a prepaid return delivery bag. Your payment for this will then be deducted from the cost of your chosen wedding ring. We will also include our complimentary catalogue for colour reference and a handy finger sizing gauge to help with your decision. If you have any questions don't hesitate to get in touch, we have many years experience of choosing the right wedding rings and are always happy to help.
WHICH METAL FOR MY RINGS?
If you have an engagement ring you ideally need to match the metal type. This is because wearing two rings alongside one another will wear over time, choosing the same metal ensures that this wear is as minimal as possible on both of your rings. For example if you have an 18ct white gold engagement ring you should ideally wear an 18ct white or yellow gold ring alongside it. Obviously you can choose any ring that you like but that just helps as a starting point.
We use natural metal without any plating, the colour of our white golds are a lovely grey tone in 18ct, and slightly yellower grey in 9ct.
A bit of info ... 9ct gold contains 37.5% gold the rest is made up of other metals, 18ct gold contains 75% gold. As such, 18ct has a rich gold colour, and 9ct has a more muted colour, 9ct red gold has a strong copper colour and suits most skin tones. We have a blog post about choosing metals which you can see here.
