D-Shaped Rings

D-shaped rings take their name from their classic cross-section: flat on the inside and gently rounded on the outside, resembling the letter "D". This traditional profile has been a mainstay of British jewellery design for over a century, prized for its comfort and timeless elegance. The curved outer surface offers a softer, more traditional appearance, making it a popular choice for those seeking a classic, understated ring. Favoured by both men and women, D-shaped bands are especially suited for those who prefer a more traditional silhouette that still feels smooth and natural on the hand. Their enduring popularity lies in their balance of heritage and wearability—making them an ideal option for weddings, anniversaries, or simply as a symbol of lasting connection.

Flat Rings

Flat rings are defined by their clean, modern silhouette—flat on both the inside and outside for a sleek, geometric profile. This contemporary style has gained popularity in recent decades, particularly among those who favour minimalist design and sharp, architectural lines. Originally embraced by modernist jewellers for its bold simplicity, the flat band has become a statement of quiet confidence and refined taste. Often chosen by men but increasingly worn by women who appreciate its streamlined look, flat rings offer a more graphic, substantial presence on the hand. Their appeal lies in their versatility—equally suited to everyday wear or as a striking wedding band that departs from tradition with purpose and style.
