Ordering a wedding ring from A&S means that it is made with love by one of our amazing suppliers. This means you have more flexibility with the ring you see in store and how you’d love to see it look for you. You can decide on the finish of the wedding ring or perhaps even go for a patterned wedding band. This is your wedding ring and we want to make sure it is just right for you!
Read on to hear more about patterns and finishes on your wedding ring.
Why add a pattern to your wedding ring?
Patterns are a great way to add a unique, almost artistic touch to your wedding ring. These patterns can be distinctive yet elegant and are a great option to make your wedding ring reflect your personality.
Which patterns are there to choose from?
Choose from contemporary, milgrain edged, trinity or perhaps even choose a patterning that creates the illusion of diamonds in the band; the perfect way to add sparkle without having the diamonds. Pattern can also be created by choosing a mixed metal ring or a band with a ceramic inlay. These designs are available in a variety of metals, styles and widths. You may want a ring that has a pattern all over or go for something more subtle like a ring with a milgrain (otherwise known as beaded) edge.

What if I’m looking for a particular pattern that is not available in store?
We can help make this ring a reality. Speak to our team about our bespoke service and how we can have your wedding ring made with your own unique pattern.
Can I have a patterned wedding ring resized later down the line?
Yes you absolutely can, you will just need to bear in mind that resizing may well affect the pattern slightly. Our talented goldsmiths and suppliers do a fabulous job matching them in as best they can however it is something to be aware of when choosing a patterned wed.
Do you offer Celtic wedding rings?
Yes we do. For those not familiar with Celtic wedding rings, they feature intricate interwoven patterns and knots, this detail is unique to Celtic traditions and culture. They are said to be symbolic of love, eternity and the endless loop of life while bringing fortune and good luck to the wearer. Celebrate your family history and love at the same time with a beautiful Celtic wedding ring. If you are looking for this type of ring, please do pop into store and speak to one of our team who will be able to show you the wedding bands we have.
What about the finish of the ring?
Once you’ve chosen your ring, you’ll want to consider the finish of the ring… they don’t have to all sparkle!
What finishes are there?
You can choose from a matt or a shiny finish. When it comes to matt there are more options than you think. There are options such as Polished, Fine Matt, Heavy Matt, Sandstone, Brushed and Cross Brush. Our team in store can show and explain the options to you.
Once again, if you for example want a plain band with a sandblast finish, it is not necessarily something you may see in store, however that does not mean it’s not possible so please do take the time to sit down with our team to discuss your wedding ring ideas.
Please see some examples of possible finishes below. These might not all be available depending on the ring you choose.
Make it personal with an engraving
So you’ve chosen your ring, picked your metal type and finish… what next? Why not add a personal engraving!
The engraving can be 24 characters maximum and can be anything you’d like. Most commonly our bride and grooms choose wedding date, names, pet names for one another or the name of their first dance song. You can choose from a selection of fonts; Love Letter Script, Adorable, Roman, Helvetica or Desdemona. Our team can show these to you at the time of order for you to choose or alternatively you can have a look at them on our Wedding Ring Builder. If you have your heart set on your own handwriting or your finger print, please enquire in store.

While it is not essential, booking an appointment does have its advantages such as having your very own expert ready to welcome you into store.
