WEDDING RINGS
 
 

I do…….

The Wedding Ring has been the symbol of eternal love with a magical history dating back centuries. A circle has no beginning and no end and just like eternity it captures time.

Wedding ring history started with plaited grass rings and has evolved to endless choices of styles and materials.

Step into one of Peter Jackson the Jeweller’s beautiful stores and you will find a vast and enduring collection with something for everyone

What should you buy?
The choice is all yours, your wedding rings will be long with you therefore take your time and choose wisely. Help and advice will be the very best. Learn about the different precious metals, the different colours of gold, the design service and why Peter Jackson the Jeweller should be your only choice.

Hot White Metals…
The most precious and rarest of all the metals is platinum. To put this into perspective each year there is fifteen times more gold mined than platinum. Gold has many great properties but platinum pips it to the post with its purity, individuality and durability.

Palladium stepped into the arena in 2005, since then it has stormed up the ladder of metals being bought for wedding rings. Being one of the Platinum family members, palladium, is substantially lighter than platinum but has many similar properties. It is naturally white, hard wearing and at a snippet of the price, many people are finding it hard to resist!

Simply Stunning…….
Dazzle with diamonds. You will find a fabulous selection of Diamond set wedding bands to suit all. Sprinkle, Scatter whatever your choice may be, Peter has the most stunning pieces and if it is not quite what your looking for you can have it made, using your own unique ideas.
