Yes, you can commission a wedding band on its own. We can make a band to sit with an engagement ring you already have, or a band that will be worn by itself. You do not have to have ordered the engagement ring from us. The shape, the metal and the fit are agreed with you in writing before making begins, just as they would be if we were designing both rings together.
Designing a band around a ring you already have
If you want the band to sit close against an existing engagement ring, we need a clear sense of that ring's profile: the height of the setting, the shape of the shank, and whether there is a gallery, a hidden halo or stones on the shoulders. Photographs, measurements, and a look at the ring on a video consultation are usually enough for us to draw a band that follows it. A plain shank is often the most straightforward to sit against. A sculpted or engraved engagement ring may need a shaped band, or a slightly open one. Our guides to choosing a wedding band to match and to which rings sit well with a band cover that fit in more detail.
A band on its own, and the metal you choose
Some people want a wedding band without an engagement ring, or a second band to wear on another finger. In that case we design from your brief: width, profile, metal and any stones or engraving. Choosing the same metal as an existing ring is often the simplest way to keep the colour consistent as both are worn, though mixed metals can work when that contrast is deliberate. Our guide to whether the band should be the same metal explains that choice, and our guide to commissioning both together is useful if you have not yet had the engagement ring made.
Timing and approval
We work by video consultation and message. Nothing is made until you approve the design in writing and pay the 70 percent deposit. Making time is then 5 to 6 weeks, and the band is UK hallmarked before insured, tracked FedEx delivery. For Christmas, the design must be complete and the 70 percent deposit paid by Thursday 19 November 2026. If you would like to start a band, get in touch or browse the diamonds we can source if you also have a stone in mind.
Frequently asked questions
Can you commission a wedding band on its own?
Yes. We can make a wedding band on its own, or design one to sit with an engagement ring you already have. The shape, the metal and the fit are agreed with you in writing before making begins.
Do you need the engagement ring in order to make the band?
If the band has to sit close against an existing engagement ring, it helps to have accurate photographs, measurements, or to look at the ring with you on a video consultation. If the band will be worn on its own, we can design it from your brief alone.
How long does a band take?
Making time is 5 to 6 weeks after you approve the design in writing and pay the 70 percent deposit. For Christmas, the design must be complete and the 70 percent deposit paid by Thursday 19 November 2026.
Can the band be in a different metal from the engagement ring?
Yes, if that is the look you want. Choosing the same metal is often the simplest way to keep the colour consistent, and our guide to matching metals explains when mixing them needs extra thought.
