What we do
The exchanging of rings is the ultimate outward symbol of your love for each other. Chocolate Couture works with you and your partner to create beautiful handcrafted wedding rings made in the precious metal of your choice.
Choose from a selection of materials including recycled gold and ethically sourced gemstones. Your celebration of love is about the joining of two unique individuals so we believe that your rings should reflect that too.
We want to help you move away from the mass produced high street wedding or commitment rings to one which has been especially handcrafted for you.
We want to work within your budget and as such we are happy to discuss options with you without compromising on quality.
We can also provide bespoke handcrafted cufflinks for the guys in your wedding party or alternative ethical gifts for the girls. It's your day so just ask for what you want!
Ethical Action
Our handcrafted wedding bands are made in our workshop in the UK so avoiding mass produced de-personalised jewellery
We work with our clients to provide jewellery which is within their budget and without compromising on quality
We donate jewellery for charity auctions in and outside of the UK with the aim of giving back to those in desperate need.

A few ways we're trying to make a difference
Recycling
We use recyclable gift packaging which is gorgeous.
Recycled precious metals and materials can be used within handcrafted jewellery and wedding/commitment bands.
We also source recycled products for our gift selection from the British Association of Fair Trader Suppliers (BAFTS) who sell a range of gorgeous fair trade products.
We use recycled fabrics e.g. velvet, silk in some of our jewellery and accessory items.
Reducing carbon footprint
We have signed up to COCO (www.coco2.org) to assist in offsetting some of our carbon emissions. We are very sensible about conserving energy. Philip ensures that all lighting and heating is used appropriately. He also takes great pleasure in turning the thermostat down even in the peak of winter (I think it’s a man thing!).
Using organic products
Organic gifts sourced from the British Association of Fair Trade Suppliers are available on the website. Excellent gift ideas for your wedding party.
Supporting fair trade
Regularly source products from our Fair Trade suppliers with the aim of giving back to those communities. A selection can be found in the Gift Lounge.
Supporting / working with a charity
Donations to charity auctions and continued support to our favourite charity: The Constant Gardener Trust.
