THE only accessories you really need on your wedding day are the rings.

Symbolizing your endless love and commitment to each other, there will never be a more important piece of jewellery in your life, which is why you should spend time looking for the perfect wedding rings.

Expert jeweller Mark Riley of Riley & Riley in Ipswich, says that the town is a fantastic place to find your wedding jewellery, with his store in particular stocking a wide and beautiful range of not only wedding and engagement rings, but accessories for the whole day.

Although bijoux in size, Riley and Riley has a spacious and modern feel, owing to its neutral décor and Italian designed 3D cabinets, which allow you to see the pieces at every angle.

There are hundreds of wedding rings available at any time in the shop for both men and women, although as Riley and Riley also specialises in making and altering jewellery, thousands of permutations are available. So if you like the stone settings in one ring, and the brushed design on another, you can combine the features for your own unique and personalised wedding band.

A wide range of metal types are available, from nine and eighteen carat gold, to platinum and palladium. A lovely material from the platinum family, palladium was this year given hallmark status, and has the same look as platinum at a fraction of the cost, making it a wallet-friendly option. In fact, palladium rings start at under £100.

If you have your heart set on a bespoke wedding ring, then pop into Riley and Riley for a chat. After talking about what you’d like and making a few sketches, formal drawings will be created, and a sample ring will be carved in wax for you to try on before making your decision.

You can have rings made in any metal you desire and, as Mark is a qualified gemmologist, you can be assured that he will source the perfect stones to set into your ring or wedding jewellery, including hand-selected diamonds.

As well as wedding rings, the store has a fantastic selection of other jewellery, including pearls, earrings, necklets and bracelets, cufflinks, engraved gifts and Rotary and Breil watches.

A particularly popular line that would make fantastic gifts for bridesmaids or the mother of the bride or groom, is the Lovelinks range.

After buying a bracelet, necklet or ring from the collection, there are 700 stunning charms and links to pick and choose from, made from silver, vermeuil or gold, with Murano glass and enamel. This is a range that appeals to all generations and, as no two bracelets are the same, they become very personal and treasured possessions.

Bracelets start at £24.95 in sterling silver, charms start at £11.95 and spacers start at £5.95.

All of the staff at Riley & Riley are very enthusiastic, really help their customers and look after them, so you can be assured of fantastic service in store. Extras such as steam cleaning and polishing are available in store too, free of charge on any Riley & Riley ring.
