get him to have the wedding ring rebuilt, did that for Mrs V's engagement ring which being second hand (it was the only one after months of searching she liked). cost nearly as much as a new one but it was rebuilt with harder gold and Platinum prongs. -
I've got a spare wedding ring if anyone wants it?If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment

So do I. For some reason the present Mrs B insisted I buy a new one when we got married.Originally posted by hyperD View PostI've got a spare wedding ring if anyone wants it?

Originally posted by vwdan View PostI do, but mostly under protest. I tried to avoid it, but caved at the 11th hour (Well, the day before) and purchased a sub £100 titanium ringOriginally posted by mudskipper View PostI have hinted that, if Mr ms would like to splash out on a nice eternity ring, I'd happily wear that. Wedding ring was so cheap that it gave me eczema. (IIRC, £40 for both rings, and they threw in 'free' bridesmaids' gifts!)Similar here. We were poor so the engagement ring was an "expensive" white gold .25ct solitaire at £300, the wedding bands were £50 (white gold) for her and £25 for me... mine had some crappy inscription inside but was basically the cheapest yellow gold I could get.Originally posted by mudskipper View PostI too have a quality Argos engagement ring - half price in the sale.
Luckily the engagement ring is actually very nice, I just wish it could have been platinum as white gold yellows and has to be re-plated. The plan was to get a more fancy eternity ring when we reach 10 years and (we assumed) would be able to afford it.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
