ISSUE FW’26
In our new FW’26 issue, we take you to the south of France and to Renée and Jan’s wedding, which was a celebration of love, friendship and style. We also sit down with Louis Abel founder Jimmy Loutfi for an in-depth interview about how his own wedding rings marked the start of a new chapter in fine jewellery, and look ahead to New York Bridal Fashion Week for the silhouettes, details and ideas that will set the tone for the coming season.

What does the process involve when you create a wedding ring?
It starts with a personal meeting where we discuss the customer’s wishes and style preferences together. I need as much information as possible about the customer’s style and taste – the more, the better. There are physical ring models and images available to help visualise the design even further.

What materials do you work with?
I work mainly with different types of gold, such as rose gold, white gold, yellow-green gold and medium-red gold, always in 18 carats. I do not recommend silver due to rapid wear and cost considerations. Platinum is also an option, although it can be slightly more complicated.
How is the design tailored to the client’s specific requirements?
The design is tailored to the customer’s finger size, length and personal taste. I begin by looking for the best design language to suit you specifically during the first meeting. The customer is actively involved in the design process to gain a clear idea of what the ring will look like. The first meeting can take up to a couple of hours, but it’s a worthwhile investment given that your wedding ring will be worn every day for many years to come.
How long does it take to craft a unique wedding ring?
It usually takes 2 to 3 months or longer, depending on the number of existing orders. It’s important to plan well in advance.
What is your policy on alterations or adjustments if the customer is not entirely satisfied?
Some alterations, such as resizing, are included free of charge. More extensive alterations may incur additional costs.
How do you ensure the quality and durability of the ring?
The invoice details everything from the gold carat, gold weight, names of gemstones, carat weight, cut, shape, clarity and colour of the gemstones, and the cut of the diamonds. It is important to keep the invoice safe in case of loss and for any future revaluation.
How does payment work?
Usually, a 50 per cent deposit is required before work begins, or the customer can pay for gemstones/diamonds in advance.
Do you offer any guarantees or maintenance services to keep the wedding ring in good condition?
After one year’s use, we recommend a free service and polish. After that, you can have your ring serviced every two years for a small fee. This helps to keep your wedding ring in the best possible condition over the years.
