The Belen
The entry point to luxury. The Belen is a testament that you don’t need to overspend to get solid gold. It is sleek, understated, and sits flush against almost any engagement ring.

4. The Ultimate Luxury: The Barbara
If budget is not a constraint and you simply want the best available to purchase online, there is only one option.
The Barbara
This is the crown jewel. The Barbara represents the highest level of craftsmanship at Jewellery Connection. Heavy solid gold, premium hand-selected diamonds, and a setting quality that rivals international luxury houses.
Why purchase this? Because it is an heirloom asset that will retain value for generations.
Purchase The BarbaraHow to Choose the Right Band?
Before you click “Buy,” consider these three technical factors to ensure you are happy with your purchase.
1. The “Flush Fit” Factor
Does your engagement ring have a raised setting (cathedral) or a low profile?
If it is low, a straight band like the Belen might leave a small “gap” between the rings. Some brides love this gap; others hate it. If you hate the gap, look for a curved band or visit us for a custom fit.
2. Metal Matching
If your engagement ring is Platinum, you must purchase a Platinum wedding band.
Why? If you wear a Gold ring next to a Platinum ring, the Platinum is harder and will slowly “eat away” and scratch the Gold ring over the years. Always match metal hardness.
🚚 Safety & Shipping
Is it safe to buy a R50,000 ring online?
Absolutely. At Jewellery Connection, we use high-security, hand-to-hand couriers (RAM). The parcel is fully insured by us until you sign for it. You assume zero risk during transit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I resize the Bella or Basha rings?
Rings with diamonds all the way around (Eternity rings) are very difficult to resize. It is critical you check our Size Guide before you purchase. Rings like the Belen or Bamilla are easily resizable.
