Wedding and engagement rings, Liège gold and the remade jewel

7 jewellers for the wedding rings, the engagement ring and the jewellery for the big day.

See the 7 jewellers Find my style first

This is a trade where the province holds its own: of the 7 jewellers in the directory, 3 are based here, in Liège itself and in Fléron, and the other 4 work out of Brussels, Namur and Rhode-Saint-Genèse. Workshop craft is very much present, and one of the workshops on the list is even called la Fabrique liégeoise de l'Or. All 7 offer remodelling of an existing jewel, which means resetting or melting down your grandmother's ring rather than buying a new one. When a family jewel is asleep in a drawer, that is often the best way in.

The 7 jewellers

All 7 cover wedding rings, engagement, jewellery for the big day, made to measure and remodelling.

Or by province

3 are based in the province of Liège, 4 come from a neighbouring province. Travelling is normal in this trade.

How to choose your jeweller in Liège province

  1. 1Start with what you already haveAll 7 jewellers rework an existing piece. Get the family box out before the first appointment: an inherited stone changes the quote and the meaning of the ring.
  2. 2A nearby workshop saves you time3 of the 7 are in the Liège area, in Liège and Fléron. When the gold is worked close to you, resizing and engraving are settled in one visit instead of a shipment.
  3. 3Engraving is decided earlier than you thinkIt comes after the ring is made and before it is handed over. Choose it at the last minute and it is the engraving that pushes back the pickup date, not the ring.
  4. 4Fingers change with the seasonGet your size measured cold and warm if you can. A winter fitting in town and a summer wedding in the Condroz will not give the same reading.
  5. 5Bespoke needs a schedule, not inspirationAll 7 offer it. Between the drawing, the wax, the casting and the polishing there are several rounds: settle the shape before you settle the collection date.

The five questions to ask the jeweller

  • Do you work the gold in your own workshop, or do you go through a subcontractor?
  • Can we have a family stone reset in this mount?
  • How long does it take between the order and the handover of the wedding rings?
  • Are resizing and engraving included, and until when?
  • What do you offer if a wedding ring needs resizing after the wedding?

What it costs

For a pair of wedding rings, count somewhere between 800 € and 3 000 € depending on the metal and the stones. An engagement ring with a stone generally starts higher.

Frequently asked questions

How many jewellers are there for a wedding in the province of Liège?

7 on wewed. 3 are based here, in Liège and in Fléron, and 4 are in Brussels, Namur and Rhode-Saint-Genèse while working for Liège couples. All 7 cover wedding rings, engagement rings, big-day jewellery, made-to-measure pieces and remodelling.

Can a family ring be reworked instead of buying a new one?

Yes, all 7 jewellers on the list offer remodelling. The gold is recovered, the stone reset, the mount remade. It is often cheaper than an equivalent new piece, and it settles the question of the jewel asleep in a drawer.

When should you order the wedding bands?

Well before the month of the wedding if you are after made to measure, because the making, the resizing and the engraving follow one another. With a Liège workshop, the adjustments are done locally and the calendar relaxes.

Find the workshop that will work your gold

Look first at who has a workshop, then at what they can do with what you bring. For wedding rings, a workshop nearby is often worth more than a beautiful window display.
