Rings and jewellery in the Var
Our directory of rings and jewellery in the Var is still being put together. In the meantime, the advice below will help you choose well.
Choosing the metal
Yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, platinum: each metal has its own style and durability. Think about how it will go with the engagement ring, worn on the same finger, and about your everyday life if you do a lot of work with your hands.
The right size
Fingers swell in the heat: have them measured at a representative time of day, neither in a heatwave nor first thing in the morning. The jeweller will also advise you on the width, which changes how the ring feels on your finger.
Engraving and lead times
Allow three to four months for rings that are made or adjusted for you, longer for a bespoke design. Engraving, whether a date, your names or a message, takes a few more days.
On the day
Decide who will look after the rings until the ceremony, and plan a ring cushion or box. A child can bring them up, under an adult's watchful eye. Our guide to the symbolic ceremony covers the moment of the exchange.
Frequently asked questions
- When should we buy our wedding rings?

- How do we find the right ring size?
- Have a jeweller measure you, at a time when your fingers are neither swollen by the heat nor numb with cold.
- Do our wedding rings have to match?
- Not necessarily. Many couples choose different designs in the same metal, or a shared engraving.
