What is the average cost of wedding rings in the UK?
Wedding ring prices typically range from £500 to £2,000+ depending on metal choice and design. At Fogal and Barnes in Harrogate, our bespoke rings start from £750, with popular choices being recycled gold bands with diamond accents.
Which finger do wedding rings go on and why?
In British tradition, wedding rings are worn on the fourth finger of the left hand. This stems from the ancient Roman belief that this finger contains the 'vena amoris' or 'vein of love' running directly to the heart.
Should wedding rings match?
While matching rings were traditionally popular, modern couples often choose complementary but different styles. At Fogal and Barnes, we help couples select rings that reflect their individual personalities while maintaining a cohesive look.
What are the most popular wedding ring styles for 2025?
Current trends among our young couples include:
- Sustainable recycled gold bands
- Diamond-set rings for both partners

How to choose a wedding ring that matches your engagement ring?
Consider these factors when selecting your perfect match:
- Metal compatibility
- Ring profile and width
- Setting style
- Stack height

Our Harrogate showroom specialists can help you find the ideal combination, whether you need a curved band for a unique engagement ring or a classic straight band for a solitaire.
