    We ordered ours about 10 weeks before the wedding but they were custom made by the same jewellers we commissioned to make my engagement ring.

    You don't want to get them too early in case you loose or put on weight and your fingers then change x

    I bought mine recently and not getting married for just over 13 months but it was on clearance and fit with my ring perfectly. I will likely have to have it resized closer to the time as I am hoping to lose a little weight before the big day. OH will likely get his closer to the wedding

    I'd suggest the January sales in 2016 would be a good time to get them, you'll get really good deals and then also not too long before your big day x

    Wow, that's amazing. Well done!

    I always find that the discounts for the January sales are better than the summer sales. xx

    I ordered mine over a year ago as I was having my engagement ring re-cast and it was easier for them to do both at once. Then a couple of months ago I had second thoughts on the design so had it altered slightly. It arrived a couple of weeks ago and is perfect.

    We ordered my OH's just a month ago; his is a simple platinum band so we didn't need to allow too long but we wanted it about a month before the wedding. It arrived last week but is slightly too big so we're popping in to have it sized later this week.

    I wouldn't worry too much about weight changes as unless you change in size dramatically most rings can be resized, plus weight fluctuations are always going to be a potential issue.

    We ordered ours as soon as we booked the venue in November 2012 from Ernest jones,we've been paying them bit by bit, and the rings are already here in the shops safe. The price of rings go up about 10% every year and ours were going to increase by £80 the following week so if you're sure of the style you want and think you won't change your mind, you can save money by getting your rings guaranteed at this years prices x

    I've just ordered mine and I still have 15 months to go but takes about 8 to 10 weeks for our rings to be made as Im getting a wedding ring and eternity ring made h2b getting his ring made too I have also gone with teh company that remade my engagement ring so I we may get our rings beginning of September or if they take longer to make may get our rings in October when its a year till the wedding

    Finger size differs on the weather and on you as it can swell so depending on the atmosphere and weather your finger will bloat then back to normal so you may not need your rings resized afterall
    it can also depend on the amount of rings you wera and how big the band it the width
