has anyone ordered wedding bands from Kodega.com?

[lasposa]

Kodega.com appears to have a large selection of wedding bands and is the only one I can find that has a 2.5mm platinum ring that comes in a thickness between 1.5 and 2.0. Have any of you used them? I can't find many reviews, which makes me a bit nervous.

Thanks!

Judging by the prices, it looks like a bench guy who is doing side work, which is actually becoming common because they lack the overhead charges of shops, so they can under cut a lot of people. It's not a bad thing (i am actually getting mine done by a bench guy). I would try the custom route through them and see what they can design.

I was interested in some of their rings as well but was concerned about the lack of reviews. I did some investigating and discovered that Kodega.com is the basically a distributor for www.weddingrings-direct.com... The parent company is UK based and does seem to have good reviews. see http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews228049.html

Here is the email and response I sent to WeddingRings-Direct:

Hi, I found a ring I really like on your site, or rather on possible
offshoot of your site, which is why I am contacting you.

Originally I found the ring I like on www.kodega.com however I was
reluctant to order as I was unable to find any reviews about the site.
After some searching around I found weddingrings-direct.com and noticed
they had the same selection and user interface.

I live in the US and was hoping you could provide some information about
the nature of the relationship between kodega and weddingrings-direct? Is
kodega an official reseller of weddingrings-direct? If I were to order a
ring, would I order through kodega or through weddingrings-direct? Does
weddingrings-direct manufacture the rings?

Any information you could provide would be very helpful.

Thank you for your time,

and their response:

Thanks for the email. Wedding Rings Direct is the parent site to Kodega.com; and also some European sites - Kodega.de and Kodega.se. All the operations are run from the UK with the exception of some workshops to do resizes and receive returns, but the availability of overseas workshops/addresses depend on which website the original order is placed through. All the rings are made in the UK.

I hope this clears it up! If you are in the USA then I'd recommend you order through Kodega.com. That means that, if you have any reason to return the ring(s), you'll be provided with the US address for the return rather than having to post them back to the UK.

I hope this clears it up, please let me know if I can be of any more assistance.

Kind regards,
Liza

Hope this helps!
