Sample Services

When you begin your search for the perfect wedding ring it is unlikely that you will know that exact style, width or depth of a ring that you're after. Alternatively you might like to see how the ring looks in the flesh, before you commit to buying. So to make the selection process easier for you we offer a sampling service which is available on most of our rings.

PLEASE NOTE:
We cannot ship any Titanium/Zirconium/Black Zirconium or Two Tone Sample rings outside of the UK.
