For instance, a classic solitaire engagement ring can be personalised with the addition of a unique diamond wedding band, perhaps making this the perfect choice for you or your partner. You might also consider a bridal ring set, which pairs a perfectly matched engagement ring and wedding ring together for you.
In general, it’s a good idea to purchase your wedding bands at least two months before your wedding day, to allow time for any customisations or crafted to order styles.

Carat and karat relate to different elements in jewellery: diamonds and gold, respectively. Carat is a unit of measurement which is used to weigh diamonds. One carat is equal to ⅕ of a gram.
In gold, the karat (often indicated with ‘kt’ or ‘k’) denotes the purity of gold in the piece. Pure gold, which is 24kt, is most often blended with other metals in what is known as an alloy, to increase the durability and affordability of the piece. The higher the karat number, the higher the percentage of pure gold. 14kt and 18kt gold are the most popular choices for engagement ring settings.
All diamond engagement rings purchased from Michael Hill come with a Certificate of Authenticity that guarantees your diamond is a natural diamond featuring each of the characteristics outlined in the certificate, as well as guaranteeing the metal content is the stated purity.
