Shimansky, South Africa’s premier diamond and platinum jewellery specialist, launches a unique collection of matching his and hers wedding bands now available from Shimansky stores nationwide.
The unique collection features over a hundred styles of matching wedding bands manufactured in 18k yellow, white, black and rose gold with some styles containing round brilliant cut diamonds.

Manufactured in a specific process, the wedding bands do not have a solder joint ensuring an elegant and seamless design. Each ring is made with a special alloy which makes the metal stronger and prevents everyday wear and tear.

Famous “Wedding Flowers” Magazine asked Eve from Splendid Affairs to comment on why Proteas are becoming a huge trend as a wedding flower.
At Splendid Affairs we believe Proteas to be bold flowers that makes a statement. They exude strength and admiration. Proteas are alluring and unique, yet the flower is wide open- suggesting openness to new possibilities, new beginnings. It is a positive and happy flower!
King Protea is a gorgeous flower that comes in a decadent pink shade, or red flower heads, its texture is velvety. The dominant shape of the flowers allows for a great structure in the bouquets or used in arrangements. I love softening a Protea with roses and Lisianthus, or even adding Succulents and Orchids.
Proteas were seen gracing the wedding cake at The Royal Monaco Wedding, well done Your Serene Highness The Princess of Monaco for giving our national flower such honour!
