Navette Jewellery has announced a new bridal collection
Natalie Towell, owner of Navette Jewellery in Ashford has been hard at work on a new bridal collection – Nelina. Inspired by vintage lace, the range of pieces depicts delicacy and romance infused with soft feminine charm. Discreetly complementing the bride, pearls drop down from the signature motif stationed along sections of a delicate chain, which is available to order in all colours of 9ct or 18ct gold. From mid-February 2023 the collection will be expanded to include a selection of matching earrings so do keep an eye out for those.
There's still more though, so time for the gents to look in. Natalie is also ready to launch a ring for grooms who wish for something more dynamic and edgy. This wedding ring is a fusion of the historical signet ring, which in the 14th century was worn as a betrothal band, with a modern wedding band to create a uniquely masculine and on-trend ring. Also available to order in all colours of 9ct or 18ct gold, as well as platinum, to suit your style, you have the option to have the groove darkened too.

Women propose new wedding trend
Until recently engagement rings were seen as exclusively a female item of jewellery but the team at Ingle & Rhode believe the time has come for both sexes to enjoy a little engagement bling. They have already sold several of the rings to women who were planning to propose to their partners and are confident the trend will continue to gain pace. Ingle & Rhode's mens rings include items fashioned from gold and platinum with many featuring ethically sourced diamonds, sapphires, emeralds and other precious stones. There's something for most budgets with women able to choose from a modest ring for their man from as little as £495 or go for something more blingy up to £11,950.

Diamond geezer: Deciding on on a pair of wedding rings
We posed Lorraine Marsh at The Diamond Setter the following question...
We're having trouble settling on a pair of wedding rings that we both love and are beginning to feel the pressure. What would you recommend?
Lorraine says: More and more brides are opting for bespoke wedding bands rather than off-the-shelf pieces, so this would be a great choice for you. Carefully contoured wedding bands for example ensure that there's harmony in both engagement and wedding rings.
Plain bands are still popular amongst grooms but a growing number of gents are wondering whether they should look at something set with diamonds. The discreet addition of melee diamonds or more modern designs like a rubover or tension set featuring asscher, cushion, emerald or radiant cut diamonds are well worth a look. With bespoke design, you don't have to feel restricted by what's already out there.
