Engagement rings

[Hair Flick]

If you're down for the footy this week or next, consider nipping into the Jewellery Quarter in Brum.

Use this guy Home I couldnt recommend him enough, you buy the metal off him (if you pay up front it’s trade price) he will work with you to design it, then make it, his wife is a gemologist who will help you choose the stones, 4 c’s etc.

If once you propose your Mrs doesn’t like it he will melt it down and start again using her input.

He did our engagement rings 11 years ago, I paid 2.2k in total they valued at over 4K for insurance as soon as they were ready, he’s lovely bloke, his website is terrible .

or someone like this

Cost me nowt, my ex bought her own.

Retrospectively a wise decision.

 

[Mr Whippy]

Go to an independant!

I went to beverbrookes and cannot fault them tbh, you get the life time cleaning to so you can go everyday if you want, keeps it looking tip top all of the time to.

Fuck. Yeah I meant Beaverbrooks aswell.

Have a look on gemporia.com they're 50% cheaper than high street jewellers.

The smb cannot really have a proper input on something like this without Pics of the said future wife/husband

Need to know about ring size too

Where’s the best place to buy? High street? Online? Anyone had good or bad experience whilst buying or exchanging if required?

Bought one recently from Berry's in Newcastle.

Exchanged it no bother cos I got the wrong size. They could see we were disappointed in how long the replacement was going to take to arrive so they gave us a bottle of champagne.

Good service all round.

You'd have to be off your trolley if you bought something as expensive/important as this online

Lad I know had one hand made, to his design, took his lass (of 10 years) to Hawaii, and proposed in the way down from the volcano.

She said no.

They've since split up and are living in different countries.

He might as well have bought a plastic ring from a toy shop.

In actual fact I think I should withdraw my original comment because it appears there are decent reputable online sellers. I kind of imagined somebody paying big bucks and getting tat back.

Got our lasses from Goldsmiths. Interest free credit which always helps.

And they accept tesco clubcard vouchers at 3 times value.

I like the idea of buying your lasses engagement ring with Tesco vouchers.

You'd have to be off your trolley to get married

True.

High street jewellers are massive mark up like. Needs to be when you think of how much the rent + rates + staff must cost and they only sell a small number of items per day. Reputable online are better value imo

 

[Safc88]

Get one made loads cheaper

Total rip off buying on the high street

 

[Seaham Towny]

Saved enough that I could afford circa £500

Bought online at Goldsmiths. Reduced to half price.

The questions you should ask is, how did you know you could live with your lass for life?

Ring means nowt in the grand scheme of things
