Engagement rings

[MackneyHackem]

...no it's defo 1 and thank fuck. £10,000 is enough for an engagement ring IHMO...!

 

[dcl0sc]

Haha depends where you read I suppose, 1 in some places and 3 in others...

10k? Cheapskate!

I wish.... more like £12.99

Anyone mentioned Argos yet?

I got my palladium wedding ring from there for £60, less than half price

I don't do any type of jewellery and never have so cheap was the best option for me.

Would you believe Palladium is now just as expensive as Platinum these days. If not more.

I frankly, have absolutely no idea about ring sizes, diamond quality or anything remotely to do with jewellery.

Total minefield for me. No idea where to start.

Then compare prices. metals are metals, diamonds are diamonds (assuming you get the same 4c's). I don't see any point in paying more to get it on the high street.

I only got married (2nd time) 20 months ago.

Aye, I've done the exact same thing transferring the balance from my Virgin Atlantic card to my current account and back again. Clocked up 100k airmiles in 3 months before they cottoned on and asked me to stop.

That’s their fault surely for being so f***ing stupid.

3 months’ salary minimum. Anything less and you don’t love them

Looking at probably popping the question within the next year or so and looking to get some ideas on ring companies etc, customisable ones.

Anyone had any dealings that can give me some advice?

Like the rest of us, you are the victim of a De Beers marketing campaign.

It is aye. I wasn't committing fraud or anything, it wasn't against they law, but they would have just taken the card off me so I stopped.

Got a pair of free return flights to Asia or South America in the bag though.

What is it about engagement/wedding rings that turns some grown men into right soppy fannies?
