Plain Wedding Bands
The beauty of a plain wedding band lies in its simplicity — pure precious metal, expertly crafted into a symbol of eternal commitment. Available in court, flat, and D-shape profiles in 18k gold and platinum.
How to Choose the Perfect Plain Wedding Band
A plain wedding band is a timeless choice. Understanding profile shapes, widths, and metal options will help you find the perfect band for everyday wear.

Court profile has a rounded exterior and interior for maximum comfort. Flat profile has straight edges for a modern, architectural look. D-shape is a hybrid with a domed exterior and flat interior. Knife-edge creates a sleek, angular appearance.
Choose Your Width
For women, 2-3mm is most popular. For men, 4-6mm is standard. Consider your hand size and personal preference — try different widths in-store. Wider bands may require a slightly larger size for comfortable fit.
Weight Matters
Light weight bands are comfortable for everyday wear. Medium weight offers a satisfying feel of quality. Heavy weight provides a substantial, luxurious presence on the finger. The right weight is entirely personal preference.
Metal Comparison
18k yellow gold is warm and classic. 18k white gold is modern and sleek but may need rhodium replating every 1-2 years. 18k rose gold offers romantic warmth. Platinum is the most durable — naturally white and hypoallergenic.
Finish & Texture
A polished mirror finish is the classic choice. Satin offers a soft sheen. Brushed adds subtle linear texture. Hammered creates an artisanal, organic appearance. Finishes can be refreshed or changed over time.
Pure Simplicity, Perfectly Personalised
A plain band is anything but ordinary when it's made exactly to your specifications. Choose your ideal profile, width, weight, and finish — or add a secret engraving inside that only you and your partner will know about.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most popular plain wedding band style?
The court profile in 18k yellow gold remains the most enduringly popular choice. For women, a 2-3mm width is most common, while men typically choose 4-6mm. Polished finishes outsell all others, though brushed and satin finishes have grown significantly in popularity.
What is the difference between court and flat profile?
A court profile has a gently rounded exterior and interior, making it exceptionally comfortable as it slides easily over the knuckle. A flat profile has straight edges and a flat exterior, offering a more modern, architectural appearance. D-shape is a hybrid.
Does platinum scratch easily?
Platinum develops a natural patina of fine scratches over time, which many people find attractive. Unlike gold, when platinum scratches the metal is displaced rather than lost, so the ring maintains its weight. A jeweller can restore the original polish with a simple buffing.
How do I care for a gold wedding band?
Clean your gold band regularly with warm soapy water and a soft brush. Remove it during heavy manual work and when using harsh chemicals. Store separately to avoid scratches. Have it professionally polished once a year. White gold may need rhodium replating every 1-2 years.
