“Amazing service from Iain when buying our wedding rings. Iain listened carefully to what we wanted, whilst making great suggestions that suited both our lifestyles. He is extremely knowledgeable and we would recommend IHD to anyone looking for somewhere to purchase their rings. It is great to have rings personalised for our big day! Thank you so much!”

“We picked our wedding rings up at the weekend and we are so pleased with them. The choice of rings, particularly for men, is great and the service Iain and the team offered from first meeting at the York wedding fair to collecting our beautiful rings has been first class. I highly recommend IHD designs. Thanks.”

“ If I could give more stars I would ”
“Absolutely gorgeous designs and craftsmanship went into my partners and my wedding rings. If I could give more stars I would. Beautifully made, great timing and very pleasant experience with Iain. WOULD 1000 TIMES RECOMMEND!”
— Alice —
“ The whole experience from start to finish was excellent ”
“My partner and I saw Iain from Iain Henderson Designs Ltd. at a wedding fayre in Leeds. We chatted about the style of wedding rings we wanted. Whilst I knew what I wanted, my partner Paul had no idea. There was no pressure from Iain and we left with his card and continued round the other stalls. What stood out about Iain Henderson Designs Ltd. for us compared to other jewellers was that Iain was very down to earth, listened to what we wanted and had designs we would not have seen on the high street. He has a studio at his home where we went to see some styles and get ideas. The whole experience from start to finish was excellent. We are delighted with our rings and they are so different to anyone we know. We will definitely go back if we need a ring in the future.”
— Louise and Paul —
“ a really personal service ”
“The Wedding rings were an important part of our day, after all we would be wearing them for the rest of our lives, they had to be absolutely perfect. We visited several jewellers, none of whom could do exactly what we wanted, we thought we would have to settle with rings that we liked rather than loved. We met Iain at a Wedding Fayre at the Coniston Hotel, our venue for the Wedding. Iain’s ‘can do’ attitude was exactly what we were looking for, we explained how we wanted the rings and were told that’s what we would get. We were guided through the process, were never rushed, and were kept informed of the progress. It was a really personal service and all staff involved were brilliant. The rings are absolutely fantastic, exactly as we imagined (and very different to anything we have ever seen!). Thank you so very much for all your help.”
— Toni and Gary —
“ we are still thrilled ”
“Iain made our wedding rings 16 years ago. They are beautiful, and we are still thrilled with the lovely unique design he helped us come up with. They are perfect and they still work! Thanks Iain.”
— Nick & Niki Harper —
“ The highstreet simply cannot compete ”
“Faultless from start to finish on customer services and design, and the end result in my 18ct white gold ring and my fiance’s wedding rings were perfect. Throughout the design and selection process Iain was patient, helpful and very accommodating, especially given that because of our jobs and the fact that we live an hour an a half away from the workshop, my fiancé and I had to meet with Iain at 7:30 in the evening! We ended up with 3 rings because my fiancé couldn’t choose between 2 he liked and so settled on having an engagement ring as well as a wedding ring. All 3 rings were made within 6 weeks, exactly to our specifications. And they’re perfect. Hands down the only way to go when it comes to buying your wedding rings is having them made by IHD. The highstreet simply cannot compete on quality of service or beauty in design. And the prices are incredibly reasonable too! Thank you Nicky and Iain. We can’t wait to be able to wear our rings after the wedding day!”
— Amy —
“ Truly individual experience ”
“I would recommend Iain too anybody, purely and simply because you are going to get a personal experience. It’ll make the special day – it’s as simple as that… special rings for a special day… Truly individual experience.”

Frequently Asked Questions about Ladies Wedding Rings
Shaped wedding rings are something we specialise in. Depending on the shape of your engagement ring, we can take a 3D scan of your ring, then from the blueprint of your engagement ring, your wedding ring can be designed to match perfectly using our CAD software.
Palladium is a perfect match to sit next to an 18ct white gold engagement ring, as pallidum is one of the main metals used to make white gold, whiter in colour.
With palladium being naturally white in colour, rhodium plating will not be required. However, palladium is now the most expensive metal, and we don’t tend to recommend it to our clients. There are limitations for platinum sitting next to your 18ct white gold engagement ring, but this will be discussed in your design consultation with Iain.
9ct white gold is too soft for either palladium or platinum, and the only option would be like for like.
This is one of the main concerns we have from our brides. We agree that the focus should stay on your engagement ring, and the purpose of a wedding ring should complement your engagement ring. By having a plain, polished wedding ring next to an engagement ring, it has the opposite effect, and takes the focus away from the engagement ring, especially if there’s lots of diamonds or detailing and will draw the eye to the reflective surface. We would recommend, mirroring your engagement ring details, so they look like they have been designed to sit together, rather than two separate rings.
Matching wedding rings is an old tradition that stems back from when the only option was yellow gold bands, for both the bride and groom. In the modern world, there’s now more focus on lifestyle and suitability. Having matching rings might not be the right choice, especially if the groom has a very hands on job. For this we would recommend titanium for the groom, but titanium for a bride would be too hard of a metal to sit next to platinum, and would wear it away.
There are ways in which we can link your wedding rings together. For instance, you could have matching engraving or a titanium ring with a yellow, white or rose gold inlay as a nod to the brides metal.
Prices will vary depending on different options, e.g. diamond cuts/shapes, finger size etc. Examples below are based on a platinum ring, size L.
Plain wedding ring, 2mm, start from | £550.00 |
Shaped, plain wedding ring with 3D CAD Design, start from | £1,350.00 |
Shaped, diamond wedding ring with 3D CAD Design, start from | £1,700.00 |
Diamond-set wedding ring, 0.13ct, start from | £890.00 |

Yes, we work with clients across the United Kingdom and all around the World.
If you are unable to visit the Studio, we are more than happy to communicate via phone & email or over video meetings through Microsoft Teams, Whatsapp, Zoom, Facetime and Skype etc.
After a design has been agreed, it usually takes between 4-6 weeks to make your ring/s.
Once completed, you may collect it from our Studio or have it securely delivered to your desired location.
Unlike the high street jewellers, we can rhodium plate white gold rings onsite, while you wait. It takes around 30 minutes to be completed. The cost to re-plate a ring starts from £65.00.
This depends on how much the ring will need sizing by, and if it’s to be sized up or down. Sometimes we might need to add metal, which can cost more. Our prices for resizing start from £45.00.
We advise our clients to use warm water with washing up liquid and a soft toothbrush (ideally a baby toothbrush) to clean your rings. Alternatively, we sell small Sonic Machines that perform a professional deep clean, for £95.00. Contact The Studio to enquire or make a purchase. |
If we can’t use your gold as part of the new design, we can weigh it in and get the cash value back for you.
So, if you have any precious jewellery, please bring it with you to your appointment.
