We love a wedding here at Muswell Hill Creatives. We think having something that has been lovingly handmade by a local designer or maker will make your day even more special and it will make the gift you give that bit more precious too. In this blog, we're romancing you with some handmade pieces to inspire you this wedding season.

This is a beautiful trio of stacking modern wedding bands: one yellow gold, one rose gold and one sterling silver. Each band is cast in a complete circle, having no beginning and no end, both symbolic and beautiful. This band is tapered on one side to 1.65 mm and rounded on the other to 4.25 mm so that it will nestle with other rings or along side an engagement ring. A choice of matt or polished finish on each ring is available. Order includes one SILVER, one YELLOW GOLD, and one ROSE GOLD in the carat fineness of your choice. £929 + shipping |
The Horatio wide soft D profile wedding ring is the perfect choice for a man who likes to shout loud and clear that he is confident with his choice.
