Engagement ring help...

[Churchill]

Well, you may have a point there. I suppose I like to buy the best possible quality kit, at any given opportunity. And I got a bit geeky about diamonds when I bought Mrs RH's ring.

Edit: It's a bloody shiny stone, that's for sure.

Has CM put you lot up to this by any chance?

I took the Mrs to New York to propose. Bought the ring in Tiffany cost a fortune. She seemed happy though, so so was I.

Some of the Tiffany ones are beautiful but I suspect you end up paying as much for the name as the Diamond? Seeing the little blue box does make a girls heart leap though, good on ya MM

Fu** her ring. Having sex before marriage? First thing you need to do is buy her parents off you dirty boy.


Tut tut tut.

If you had done this in the first place you would not be in this situation now!!!!

Tiffany's = Much cash for what? Diamonds are diamonds, regardless of the brand. Their manufacturing of the support/band isn't up to much either. You'll get twice the quality for the same price elsewhere.

It's no laughing matter.

I spent two and a half weeks picking my (now) wifes ring, she turned over one night and said 'if you dont stop that, I will shove the rolling pin up your @rse and see how YOU like it'

True - My brother bought wedding ring with Diamonds in for my (now) sister in law, in Dubai. He got way more for his money than he would have at home. Got it valued in Ireland and it was valued at about 2.5 times what he paid for it Crazy!!

Design? I'm not much cop at designing jewellry
Convenience & brand? I'm just as likely to get ripped off in Hatton Garden as Tiffany.

As I said, she's happy, I'm happy. I doubt she would have been happy-er with something I had had made but we'll never know now...

I used to know someone in the business, she told me that the mark up on jewelry is astonishing.
