Wedding Ring Buying Guide
Choosing Your Wedding Rings - FAQ's
When should we buy our wedding rings?
At Brufords, we recommend that your search for wedding rings begins 3-6 months before your wedding date. This allows enough time for finding the perfect style, ring sizing, engraving and bespoke designs. However, if you’re getting married sooner, our in-store bridal jewellery experts can often accommodate a shorter lead time – just get in touch as soon as possible.
Do our wedding rings need to match?
No – wedding rings do not need to match. Many couples who visit us choose complementary designs rather than identical bands. This might mean the same metal or finish, but different widths or styles to suit an individual’s taste and comfort.
What are the best metals for wedding rings?
Popular wedding ring metals include:
• Platinum – durable, naturally white, and ideal for everyday wear.
• Yellow Gold – classic and timeless
• White Gold – modern and elegant
• Rose Gold – warm and romantic
As experienced wedding ring specialists in Eastbourne, we’ll help you choose the best metal for your lifestyle and budget.
How do we find the right wedding ring size?
We strongly recommend that you visit us in-store at The Beacon, Eastbourne for a professional ring sizing. As your finger size can change depending on the weather and time of day, our wedding ring experts will be able to advise you and ensure your rings are sized to fit comfortably and accurately.
Can our wedding rings be engraved?
Yes, having your wedding rings engraved is a popular choice. Many of our couples choose names, initials, wedding dates, or meaningful phrases, and this can be arranged at the time of ordering your rings or after the wedding.
At Brufords, our complementary TLC packages includes a free engraving so just let our team know this is something you’d like to include.
Do we need to book an appointment to view wedding rings?
Whilst booking an appointment isn’t compulsory, we recommend you book in with one of our bridal jewellery experts, particularly at the weekends.
You and your partner can enjoy a complementary refreshments whilst you and one of our specialists discover our full selection of rings, allowing you to try on different styles, explore metals and finishes, and discuss bespoke options in a relaxed, pressure-free environment.
What if we don’t know what wedding ring style we want?
Don’t panic, that’s completely normal. Many couples who visit us in-store at The Beacon, Eastbourne start without a clear idea of what they are looking for. We’ll help you explore styles, understand what feels comfortable, and find wedding rings you’ll love wearing for life.
Are wedding rings suitable to wear every day?
Wedding rings are designed to be worn every day, but some styles are more durable than others. Our team of wedding ring experts are on-hand to guide you through choosing the right metal, width, and finish based on your lifestyle and occupation, ensuring your ring remains comfortable and long-lasting.
Can you match a wedding ring to an engagement ring?
Absolutely! We regularly help brides-to-be choose wedding rings that fit perfectly alongside their engagement rings.
What finishes are available to wedding rings?
Our wedding rings are available in a variety of finishes including polished, matte, brushed, hammered, and two-tone designs. During your consultation, you’ll be able to view the different finishes to find the one that suits you best.
Do you offer payment plans or interest free credit?
Yes! We offer a range of flexible payment options to help make your purchase easier. You can choose to pay in full using a credit or debit card, or spread the cost for up to 36 months with 0% APR using our finance provider V12 Retail Finance.
