De Beers
De Beers has been part of the story of diamonds for well over a century, and its jewellery reflects that intimacy with the stone: clean settings, precise proportions and metals chosen to last a lifetime. Alongside its diamond pieces, the house makes wedding bands of quiet perfection, the kind of ring that is put on once and rarely taken off.
Every De Beers piece we offer has been examined in our studio. Our specialists confirm the metal by its hallmarks and by testing where appropriate, check the signature and any inscription, and assess the band for roundness, wall thickness and finish. For diamond-set pieces they also assess the stones and their settings. Any wear, resizing or polishing we can see is described in the listing.
In the shop now: the Men's Wide Court Band in platinum (PT950), 4.0 mm. A court band is gently domed inside and out, so it slides on easily and sits comfortably. Platinum is dense, naturally white and very durable, and over years it develops a soft, satin patina that many people come to love.

Ring sizing
Wider bands tend to feel snugger than narrow ones in the same size. If you are unsure, our client team can help you choose.
Choosing a wedding band
A band is the piece most likely to be worn every day for decades, so comfort matters as much as looks. Our client team can talk through width, profile and fit, and arrange a private viewing.
Encore Luxe is an independent retailer of authenticated pre-loved luxury and is not affiliated with De Beers.
Questions we’re often asked
- Is the De Beers band genuine platinum?
Yes. The band is marked PT950, meaning 95 per cent platinum, and our specialists confirm the metal and hallmarks before listing.
- What is a court band?
A court band is curved on both the inside and outside, which makes it comfortable to wear and easy to slip on and off.
- Can a platinum band be resized?
Platinum bands can usually be resized by a skilled jeweller, depending on the width and any engraving. The listing gives the current size.
