Q&A Fashion and beauty Local experts answer your questions WITH THIS RING Please can we have some advice about choosing our wedding rings? Meet the expert: Milly Maunder is a Devon-based, female-founded jewellery company, founded by Milly, who specialises in handmade and permanent jewellery. The wedding ring designs are expertly crafted in the Ottery Saint Mary-based studio, designed with nature and sustainability in mind. Milly says: Choosing the perfect wedding ring is a deeply personal decision that requires careful thought and consideration. Start by determining your budget, as it will guide you through the process of selecting a ring that suits both your financial comfort and your style preferences. Consider whether you would like a matching set or for them both to reflect your unique style. Then think about the material you want to choose; each metal has its appeal, durability, and price point and we can help guide you along the way, or maybe you even have heirloom gold you would like to use. Once you have these key decisions made, the creative part can begin - the design process. Do you want a simple, elegant and traditional band or one adorned with diamonds, gemstones or texture? The style should complement both your personality, lifestyle and engagement ring if you wear one, ensuring it represents your unique relationship. If you’re looking for something truly special, Milly Maunder offers a bespoke service where she creates beautiful, one-of-a-kind wedding rings that are full of character. Milly specializes in crafting stunning, organiclooking designs that are made either from heirloom gold or from recycled gold sourced by her team, giving you the chance to create a piece with personal meaning. Imagine transforming a family heirloom into something new and fresh, or designing a ring that’s unique to you. Whether you’re after a vintage-inspired piece or something more modern with a handmade touch, Milly’s bespoke service ensures that your wedding ring will be unique, special and meaningful. Plus, every ring is crafted with care, ensuring it’s not only beautiful but also comfortable and durable for your lifestyle and everyday wear! www.millymaunder.co.uk www.instagram.com/millymaunder BODY BLISS How can I prepare my skin and hair before my wedding?
