9CT/18CT/YELLOW/WHITE GOLD/PLATINUM 2MM SLIGHT COURT WEDDING BAND
Christine Alexander Fine Jewellery
The Slight Court wedding ring offers both comfort and style and is shown here in 2mm width. Also available in 2.5-8mm styles, in a range of metals including Palladium. Please contact me with your requirements and I will endeavour to find the perfect ring for your special day. Having just been married myself I can empathise with the need for perfection!
The Slight Court is the perfect mix of the practicality of the Flat band and the comfort and luxurious feel of the Court. In cross section it is a narrow oval, not standing high off the finger, but with the signature rounded edges (see photos).
A 2mm band is perfect for those wanting minimalist simplicity, or to stack several rings! Indeed, I have sold several of this ring as stackers or thumb rings.
White gold is usually enhanced with Rhodium plating. To preserve this plating, avoid swimming in your jewellery as chlorine in particular can cause faster degradation. Chlorine is present in small amounts in tap water, so it is best to avoid getting your jewellery wet where possible.
Platinum is a third heavier than 18k gold and is the most expensive metal used in making jewellery (other than the rhodium used in plating). To help comprehend the rarity of platinum, it was once suggested that if all the platinum in the world was poured into an Olympic swimming pool it would not even cover your ankles! In the 18th century, the rarity of platinum was brought to the attention of King Louis XV of France, who declared that it was the only metal fit for a king.
