Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should we select our wedding bands?

We recommend beginning your selection process at least two to three months prior to your ceremony. While many of our classic styles are available for immediate acquisition in our Redlands showroom, custom-designed bands or specific size requests require time for precision casting and hand-finishing. Starting early ensures ample time for our CAD design process and any final adjustments needed for a perfect fit.

How do I choose a wedding band that won’t damage my engagement ring?

Compatibility is as much about physics as it is about aesthetics. If your engagement ring has a low-set stone or intricate side detailing, we often recommend a contour or notched band to prevent the two rings from rubbing together, which can cause "metal-on-metal" wear over time. During your consultation, our master jewelers will evaluate the "galleries" of your rings to ensure they sit flush, preserving the structural integrity of both pieces.

What is the benefit of choosing Platinum over White Gold for a daily-wear band?

While both offer a stunning white luster, they behave differently over decades of wear. Platinum is naturally white and incredibly dense; when it is scratched, the metal is merely displaced rather than lost, creating a "patina" that many find desirable. White Gold is an alloy that is rhodium-plated for brightness and may require periodic re-plating to maintain its crisp finish. We help you weigh these maintenance factors against your lifestyle to ensure your band remains a resilient symbol of your commitment.
