Supplier Spotlight - Smooch

I am delighted to introduce Smooch who offer some sound advice on the tricky business of buying your wedding rings.

Do you know which metal do you want? Gold, platinum, white gold, titanium, palladium... 9ct, 18ct, 22ct?  Do you want it to be engraved?  Would you like diamonds?  Perhaps you've got an unusually shaped engagement ring, and just can't find a wedding ring that sits nicely with it.  Add to these questions the problem of being in a busy high street jewellers on a Saturday morning, being pushed around by other shoppers, staring hopelessly through glass display cases, trying to get the attention of the sales staff...

Phew, I'm exhausted just thinking about it!

Instead, how would you like to curl up on the sofa at home, cup of tea in hand (or better still a nice glass of wine) and browse a massive selection of rings at your leisure? If you decide to have a free, no obligation appointment with one of our advisors, that's exactly what you can do.

Smooch specialise in shaped wedding rings, and our highly trained advisors will offer you the best advice, and help you decide what's best for you. After all, a wedding ring is for life, so you need to make sure you get it right! You can also be sure of getting the best deal with Smooch as we offer a price match guarantee.

To help get you started, here are a few tips on things to consider when choosing your ring.


Set your budget and stick to it. At Smooch, we will always offer honest advice, and not try to sell the most expensive ring. We also provide an interest free payment scheme on all of our rings, so you can make monthly payments, which can be a big help with budgeting whilst planning for your big day.

Don’t be tempted to over-complicate the ring, especially if you have an elaborate engagement ring. Your wedding band should complement rather than compete with the engagement ring.

Make sure your ring fits perfectly - it should be loose enough to spin on your finger if you move it but tight enough so that you need to give is a slight twist to take it off.

Large cluster or unusually shaped engagement ring? Consider having a wedding band that is shaped around it, they will sit together better on your finger.

Select an odd number of diamonds for your wedding band - for some reason it always looks better than an even number.

Get a guarantee that covers you for resizing, re-polishing and replacement of diamonds, this should be for at least 5 years. Smooch gives a lifetime guarantee on all of our rings.

Keep engraving messages simple, and don’t be tempted to be too jokey - it may not be so funny in 20 years time.

Remember that all jewellery metals will scratch but over time the scratches will blend together and become less noticeable. However if you buy from Smooch we’ll re-polish your rings at any time Free of Charge.

Buy your rings as early as you can. Precious metals tend to go up in price regularly so you can save a lot of money by buying early.

Don’t buy the first ring you see, take your time, it will be with you for decades so making the right choice is essential.
