Metal and weight
Gold is sold by carat and by weight, so a wide band costs more than a slim one in the same metal. Platinum is the most expensive and the most hard-wearing.
Rings with stones add cost at each step. Set stones can also need repair years later.
Buying locally or making
Harrogate and its neighbouring towns have independent jewellers who size and engrave on the spot. Some jewellers make bands to order from melted family gold, which can lower the cost.
Order rings at least three months ahead, and engraving needs a little longer.
Do not forget
Ask about resizing, engraving and insurance. The figures here are a guide, so look in a few shops first.
