Ideally when should we start shopping for our wedding rings?

Hello and congratulations on your engagement!

Wedding rings are one of those items that will be used long after your wedding day, so like picking the right photographer to document your memories, it's an important item to prioritise. We recommend buying them earlier in the wedding planning process. In fact, that's part of why we sell wedding ring sets (an engagement ring + wedding ring together).

In terms of timing - this is a generalisation of course, but for most jewellers it'll take around 4-8 weeks to create custom wedding rings. Some jewellers have longer turnaround times than others - so find out from your preferred jeweller what their turnaround time is and plan accordingly.

One thing to remember is that your wedding rings themselves don't need to be cohesive with the aesthetic theme of your wedding - you can use themed ring boxes or a ring bearer dressed in a way that matches your theme. When purchasing your rings, the focus should be on you and your partner having rings you both love, so that you will love wearing them after your big day.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to send an email to hello@everspark.com.au - we're always happy to help.

Weddings rings are such an important consideration as they are the forever piece long after you enjoy the big day! Looking for rings early allows you to budget for your dream rings as you undertake the planning journey. If you're already well into the planning stage, 3 months allows time to explore options, have somethng made just for you, and have the rings safely tucked away with enough time to eliminate stress in the weeks before the wedding.

At Monty Adams Jewellery Concierge we specialise in custom made bespoke wedding rings in all budget categories for both ladies and gents. From diamond options to something more simple, we work with all metal types from classic gold and platinum to the more modern choices such as zirconium and titanium. Typical order times can vary from 3 - 8 weeks depending on the item.

As a manufacturing jeweller we specialise in custom wedding bands including the perfectly fitted band. Our custom range takes 6-8 weeks.

For our gents, we have the largest range in Queensland! We showcase all metals from Tingsten and Titanium through all the golds to Platinum 600 and pure Platinum. Turnaround for our gents ring is usually 4 weeks.

Allow plenty of time but don't make the mistake of leaving your wedding bands till last - they are your forever item! Your wedding rings last way past your special day so your wedding bands need to be top of your "to do" list.
