Plain bands, patterned bands and diamond-set bands
Wedding rings come in more forms than the plain court band. We buy D-shape, court and flat profiles in 9KT, 18KT and 22KT gold and in platinum, as well as engraved and millegrain bands, bicolour rings, Victorian and Edwardian bands with orange blossom or floral engraving, and diamond-set bands. Older 22KT wedding rings, wide mid-century bands and rings by named jewellers are all bought. Tell us the width of the band in millimetres and the finger size if you know them.
How a wedding band is assessed
The hallmark carries most of the information: the fineness (375 for 9KT, 750 for 18KT, 916 for 22KT, 950 for platinum), the assay office, and a date letter that gives the year the ring was marked. We look at the profile and the thickness of the band, any wear to the edges or to the engraved pattern, and the quality of any diamonds. A personal inscription inside the band does not prevent a sale. It can be polished out by a jeweller, and it stays private.
Selling after divorce or bereavement
Many wedding rings are sold after a divorce, a separation or a death in the family. You do not need to explain why you are selling, and we do not ask. If the ring belonged to a parent or a spouse who has died, take the time you need: a valuation from photographs places you under no obligation, and you are free to keep the ring. If you send it and then decline the offer, it is returned to you free and insured.

Questions about selling wedding rings
My wedding ring is engraved inside with names and a date. Can I still sell it?
Yes. Inscriptions are common and do not stop us buying a ring. On a plain band the engraving can be removed by a jeweller. On an antique ring an early date inside the band is of interest in its own right, since it records when the ring was first given. Either way, the inscription stays private.
Do you buy men's wedding bands?
Yes. Men's wedding bands in gold and platinum are bought alongside women's rings, including wide and heavy-profile bands, patterned bands from the 1960s and 1970s, and diamond-set styles. Photograph the hallmark and tell us the width. A matching pair sent together is valued as a pair and as two single rings.
Is a plain wedding ring of interest to a dealer, or only to a scrap buyer?
We look at a plain band as a ring first. Period, profile, maker's mark, an early hallmark and condition all count. A Victorian 22KT band or a signed platinum ring is resold as a ring. Where a band is very worn, we say so plainly in the valuation, so you know how it has been assessed.
I am selling after a divorce. Do you need any paperwork?
No. We buy with or without box, papers or certificates. The ring needs to be yours to sell, and payment is made by bank transfer once you accept the offer. If a ring forms part of a settlement that is still being agreed, wait until that is concluded, and use the photo valuation in the meantime to learn what you have.
Can I send my wedding ring and engagement ring together?
Yes, and it helps. Rings bought as a set often share a maker and a metal, and a shaped wedding band made to fit round an engagement ring belongs with its partner. Each ring is valued separately as well, so you can sell one and keep the other. Both travel in one insured parcel, by free FedEx collection or Royal Mail Special Delivery.
