WEDDINGS
Choosing the right wedding and engagement ring should be an experience . It needs time and guidance so you can be sure you ’ re choosing the right ones . It ’ s also important ( and not all couples realise this ) that you should avoid having rings in different metals . If your engagement ring is platinum , then ideally so should your wedding ring . Baker Brothers work closely with all their couples making sure that they leave with their perfect ring that will last a lifetime .
Lizzie added : “ We always talk to our couples about what they do for a living and what they do in their spare time to make sure they are choosing the right metal for their lifestyle . It ’ s so important as it will make a difference to the longevity of the jewellery they wear .”
When it comes to an engagement ring , diamond expert Lizzie says , “ The most popular choice will always be the round brilliant diamond with a four-claw setting because it shows the diamond off to its best advantage , a classic design that will never date and sits seamlessly alongside a wedding or eternity ring – a timeless choice .”
