You have the most wonderful engagement ring, it’s exactly what you had dreamed of, but unfortunately it doesn’t sit well with a wedding ring? You're not alone. Many people discover when they start searching for the perfect wedding band that an ‘off the self’ ring does not complement or enhance their beloved engagement ring.
Finding the perfect fitted wedding band to compliment your engagement ring can be challenging. Certain settings cause a straight wedding ring to sit with a gap, so the ring requires a shaped to fit wedding ring that nestles perfectly around the setting.
Our team of design consultants are here to assist you every step of the way. From selecting the right style to ensuring a perfect fit, we provide expert guidance to help you make the best choice. We understand that every engagement ring is unique, and we strive to create a wedding band that complements and enhances its beauty.
Our Belfast and Glenarm stores carry examples of designed to fit wedding bands, which you can try on with your engagement ring to help visualise what your own, handmade fitted band will look like.
Custom fit shaped wedding rings can be crafted in platinum, white, yellow or rose gold, in 9ct, 14ct or 18ct alloys. Plain bands, two tone, textured and stone set are all available, we are specialists in designing a perfect fit wedding band you’ll love!
Depending on the style of ring chosen, our skilled goldsmiths will either hand carve a wax to fit your wedding band, or 3D print a wax model. You will be able to view the wax and check you are happy with the custom fit to your engagement ring. We then proceed to casting the ring in the required metal and stone setting. Our goldsmiths are highly skilled in their craft, ensuring that every wedding band is made to the highest standards of quality and precision. We take pride in our meticulous attention to detail and commitment to creating beautiful, handmade rings.

In most cases we require the engagement ring for approx. 7 -10 days. This is so our goldsmiths can carve a perfect fit to your ring. The process does not harm or alter your engagement ring in any way. Your ring is only handled by Steensons staff between our Belfast store and Glenarm workshop and it is fully insured whilst in our care.
A wax model to the dimensions and shape requested is made specifically for your ring. We use this model in a process called ‘lost wax casting’ to make your finished ring. The model can be viewed alongside your engagement ring before you give us your approval to proceed to casting into metal.
Normal manufacturing time for fitted wedding rings is 6-8 weeks. If your wedding is imminent give our staff a call, depending on our workload at the time we may be able to accommodate an express service.
Yes. We recommend were possible to use the same carat and colour of gold / platinum. Rings worn on the same finger will rub against each other causing wear and matching the material they are made from minimises the effect of this. On rare occasions there may be some very subtle variations in colour, most commonly in white and rose gold, due to a difference in the alloy used by your engagement ring manufacturer and the alloy used in our workshop. This occurs more frequently when the engagement ring has been purchased outside of the UK.
