Men’s Wedding Bands: How to Choose the Right Ring

The expert guide to picking the perfect wedding band.

Men’s wedding bands have only recently been cast into a bigger spotlight. Until now, the wedding ring hype surrounded the bride, seemingly leaving grooms out of the fun; but not anymore! We’ve noticed men’s wedding band styles changing drastically to include a variety of metals and designs! 

The groom’s band used to be chosen simply to match the bride-to-be’s ring, but, the band is so much more than just a matching accessory. The groom will wear this band almost every single day for the rest of his life and it is meant to symbolize the lifelong commitment being made. So, it’s only right that just as much time is spent making sure the groom has the perfect band. 

Men are starting to care a lot more about their wedding band and how it is styled, and we don’t blame them! With all the new styles and an abundance of choice coming out in the industry, it can be difficult now to narrow all the options down to a single choice.

So, if you’re engaged or considering a proposal, here are a few things to keep in mind while you search for your wedding band!

3 Easy Ways to Clean Jewellery at Home

Most of us are pretty vigilant when it comes to making sure our clothing and bedsheets are regularly washed and are clean for use, but our jewellery somehow gets left out of the equation. If you really think about it, your jewellery is something you wear almost every day – so why don’t we put the same effort into making sure our accessories are well-kept? Perhaps it is because we feel that if we want to clean our jewellery we will need to go out and pick up hard-to-find, expensive cleaning materials. That couldn’t be further from the truth!

There are plenty of surprisingly easy ways to clean your well-loved jewellery that only require items you likely already have (and are easy to find if you don’t!)

Don’t let your bling turn blah – keep reading to find out our expert tips for cleaning your jewellery at home using common household items.

Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide Series: Birthstone Edition

Birthstones refer to the ancient idea that specific gemstones accompany one’s birth month. Each birthstone has a unique meaning and historical significance behind it that you might be surprised by. These gems date way back; birthstones are mentioned in the Bible and they were worn by ancient Egyptians, Aztecs, and Romans. Back then, it was widely believed that gemstones had incredible powers such as the ability to boost wearers’ luck, health, or prosperity. It was thought that wearing the gemstone during its assigned month would heighten the power.

Birthstone jewellery has remained a favourite for ages; popularity continuing to rise steadily due to the desire to wear or gift something that is both beautiful and has personal significance to the wearer. You don’t need to be a history major or a gemstone expert to find the perfect birthstone gift; here at Edwards & Davies, we’ve done all the hard work for you! Not only are birthstones gorgeous, but they also add that extra special sense of personalization to the gift of fine jewellery.

Keep reading for the low-down on every birthstone and our top picks from the E&D inventory!

Trend Watch: 2018 Fall/Winter Jewellery

Earlier this month, Fall/Winter Fashion Week took place, showcasing the season’s collections and highlighting upcoming trends. While many eyes were on the outfits, we were more concerned with catching the smaller details – jewellery. However, this season’s jewellery is anything but small. Trends dictated by the biggest, most influential names in fashion – Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Balenciaga – show a common theme: bigger is better. Jewellery for 2018 should be anything but small and dainty. We are loving bold jewellery that showcases the unique personality of the wearer, styles that mix texture and colour, and statement pieces that pack a visual punch!
