These wedding bands are reproduced directly from original Roman rings, drawing on designs from the 1st century AD. Worn as wedding bands, they offer a powerful sense of continuity — the rare experience of wearing a piece of history adapted for modern life. One such ring was supplied for use in Gladiator II, highlighting both its authenticity and enduring visual strength. These designs can be made in any precious metal and in any size.

Shown here is another Roman wedding ring from the Historic Jewellery Reproduction collection, recreated directly from the original artefact. Simple, weighty, and deeply symbolic, it represents one of the earliest known expressions of marital commitment, reinterpreted through contemporary craftsmanship.

These distinctive wedding rings were commissioned by a couple seeking something entirely unconventional. Their unusual request was to add a mix of their blood to the melted gold, which was unworkable due to its tendency to vapourise. However, using techniques for memorial jewellery, a minute sample of each partner’s blood was encapsulated in translucent resin enamel, creating a deeply personal and symbolic detail within the rings. The bands are crafted in 9-carat red (rose) gold, with one ring featuring a recessed bark texture plated in black ruthenium for contrast. The inside of each ring is laser-engraved with the wedding date.

These wedding bands are made from 9-carat red/rose gold, and the gentleman's band features a centre section with a recessed bark texture, plated in black ruthenium for greater contrast. The rings are laser-engraved on the inside with their wedding date. Mike can laser engrave dates, names, messages, sayings, poems, etc., inside or outside as desired.

These traditional Russian wedding bands comprise three interlocking rings that symbolise unity, balance, and continuity. The example shown is made entirely in 9-carat white gold, but the design can be commissioned in any combination of precious metals, including red, white, or yellow gold, in 9 or 18-carat, as well as platinum. Bands may also be created using custom mixed or striped gold, depending on preference. Each set is hand-made to order, allowing couples to define both the materials and the meaning within this enduring design.

The young couple who commissioned these sculptural rings are friends of mine and wanted to take part in the manufacture. The young man is also a film maker and created a short video. The rings are pentagonal, with a ‘planished’ (hammered) texture.

Some brides choose to incorporate a subtle line of sparkle into their wedding band. This example features matched princess-cut diamonds set partway around the shank, adding light and refinement while remaining practical for everyday wear.

Shown together are a diamond-set wedding band paired with a traditional court-shaped husband’s wedding ring. Designed to complement one another, the pairings balance contemporary detail with timeless form. 

This pair of wedding rings demonstrates how a subtle design language can be carried across both rings. Four princess-cut diamonds are set in heart-topped claws in the bride’s ring, while the groom’s ring echoes the triangular offset in her band with an engraved line and a discreetly set small central diamond. Individually distinct, the rings are visually and conceptually connected.
