How long in advance of the wedding should you buy wedding rings?

Our recommendation for buying your wedding bands – however you choose to do it – is to start looking for bands at least 3-4 months prior to the big day, and to have them ready a month before.

This gives you some breathing room if your rings take longer to size or ship due to delays in manufacturing or shipping. We recommend this time frame because it covers almost all steps and issues that may come up in the purchase of a wedding ring. 

Buying wedding rings early is beneficial for several reasons

There are many reasons why you should buy your wedding rings early, and we've listed them below for your consideration.

Your ring size should be measured.

The process of ordering wedding bands whether they are purchased at retail stores or online might be extended due to production and shipping times. Complicated designs may take longer at times to be ready.

Your ring size may not be correct the first time and might require an exchange. If you do not know your wedding ring size, you can either visit a local jeweler to get measured or better still, use our ring sizers to have them measured at your convenience at home or in your office. 

Complex ring designs may take longer

If you're seeking to purchase an extra special wedding band that requires time to manufacture by the jewellery store , you'll have to purchase your wedding band early. 

Production time for non-stock wedding rings varies considerably in manufacturing time and is determined mainly by the style and size of the ring. 

Check if popular ring designs are in stock during peak months

Weddings in Singapore are more popular near the beginning of the year and near the end of the year. When our tungsten wedding bands are in high demand during peak times of the year, there is a chance certain ring styles could be out of stock, so we recommend ordering  in advance in order to reserve them. 

Tungsten rings with CZ diamond stones can sometimes take slightly longer to be ready, so start shopping early if you prefer more unique individual styles.

Wearing your wedding ring with love on your big day is important.

Wearing your wedding bands for a few months beforehand will give you a better idea of which style you like the most and suit your lifestyle. Why not wear and show the bands to your friends beforehand and see how they like them as well? 

Buying your wedding rings months before the wedding is definitely a good idea since it is something very special. 

What width of wedding ring should you choose? 8mm, 6mm, or 4mm?

Wedding bands are typically wider on men than women. However, customizing is the new normal nowadays, so you can mix it up.  More common for men are 8mm rings, while 6mm and below is a preferred width of both genders.

The wearer's handbone structure can influence how comfortable thick bands are, as can the bevel on the band. A comfort fit-arc design helps the wedding ring slip onto your fingers comfortably.

You need to check that the ring engravings are correct.

The beautiful rings have been given their due attention, while they can be tailored to the beautiful couple to make them even more special. The engravings on each ring should correspond with one another so there are no errors when trying them on at the same time.

When engraving your rings, what should you engrave on them?

The usual engraving will be your partner’s name on your wedding ring and your name on your partner’s ring.

Engraving a special message within the band is another lovely and meaningful way of marking your relationship. This may be as simple as your initials or the date of your wedding, or as elaborate as a favorite quote. 

Your engraving can be decided together when you initially choose and order your wedding bands, or you can both co-create something sweet and personal, to be revealed at or shortly after your wedding ceremony. Some couples choose to add engraving at milestone anniversaries, so leave enough space on the inner band.

The choice of a wedding band might seem frivolous, but it's a fun opportunity to shop together for rings that complement your engagement ring and wedding rings for your spouse to be.
