I am always looking for new places to distribute our planning guide, Brides & Weddings. Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting Christopher Duncan, a third generation jeweler and half of Duncan & Clarke Jewelers in Warrenton. 

Duncan & Clarke specializes in handcrafted fine jewelry. And that handcrafting extends to customers designing, and making, their own wedding rings. The process takes about 5 to 6 hours under the guidance of Duncan, a master jeweler. The session includes enough precious metal of your choice (up to 20 grams) to make two rings. As part of the experience, you'll receive a photo album documenting this fun-filled, romantic day. The Wedding Ring Experience costs $1000 to $2800, depending on metal used.

Duncan & Clarke is located at 169B Broadview Avenue in Warrenton. To learn more about designing and making your own wedding bands, visit www.aweddingringexperience.com or call 540.347.1761.
