...and tell me where you got it from!

DP and I have decided to get married early next year, which means we need to sort out an engagement ring fairly soon - I know we don't "need" to, but I have never had any nice jewellery and would like a nice shiny ring!

I think I'd like either a diamond or Sapphire ring, open to second hand/vintage. Not keen on a solitaire but clueless apart from that!

We have had a look in a couple of local high street shops and didn't find anything. Thinking of having a weekend away somewhere to look at rings: Birmimgham for the Jewellery Quarter, or London for Hatton Garden? Or somewhere else?!

If anyone has any good suggestions of where to go, let me know, and let us have a nose at your engagement rings and wedding bands : ).

Loving both the aquamarine rings on this thread 😍

I had an awful marriage, and sold my wedding and engagement rings, didn't want them near me. My engagement ring was iolite and diamond, very striking, I used to get comments on it all the time.

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 10/11/2022 15:38

Both from jewellery quarter over ten years apart 🤣

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 10/11/2022 15:39

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 10/11/2022 15:40

Argh neither pic does them justice. I love how the light sparkles them

Chester has some great jewellers, both new and second hand/vintage. Mine were from Kaye's- it's a "heritage" ring so an old diamond in a new setting. It's a cushion cut which I love.

Mine is from Ingle & Rhodes just off Oxford st. It’s sapphire and diamond and they focus on higher ethical standards. I love it!

That's lovely, the sapphire looks a really deep blue. I do like sapphires

JofraArchersFastestBall · 10/11/2022 18:03

Mine is antique (1930s I think) with old cut diamonds, from the jewellery quarter in Birmingham. We had the wedding ring made to fit around it. They both need cleaning and re plating now, but I still love them.

My engagement ring is from the Diamond Store website as got engaged during lockdown.. it has a lab grown diamond which was important to me as much more ethical and environmental friendly. My wedding ring was bespoke by a jeweller called Daniel Darby, made from recycled gold

@RingMagpie that aquamarine one is stunning 😍

inappropriateraspberry · 10/11/2022 19:23

Ha! My engagement ring was from H Samuel I think, and my wedding ring from Amazon!
It really doesn't matter where they're from, it's the love and thought behind them that is important.
