DP & I are getting married in a few weeks & we don't have rings yet. (Nothing like leaving it to the last minute!)
I have absolutely no idea what I want, I'm completely lacking inspiration.
For various reasons I don't have an engagement ring, so I am open to all & any ideas.
Due to various circumstances, we don't have a huge budget, maybe a £300(?) at most, but even that seems extravagant.
I prefer silver coloured jewellery if that helps.
So hit me with suggestions!

What about looking at some antique / vintage jewellers? There will be a huge range of styles, including ones you don’t tend to see every day so a bit unusual - plus because jewellery has a low resale value relative to its price new, you’ll be able to have something which looks and feels quality and more expansive than what you actually paid.

Also, a wedding ring is just the ring which symbolises your marriage - it doesn’t have to look a particular way, you can have whatever you like. I have my grandmother’s diamond eternity ring as my wedding ring, which I love more than anything I could have bought new.

@ComtesseDeSpair that's a good idea! I hadn't considered that 😊 thank you.

Think about what thickness you want. Thin and delicate, chunky or somewhere in the middle. If you're not having an engagement ring then you could go chunkier. Next consider whether you want it plain, with engraving, with stones. What about the metal? Gold/ white gold? Narrowing it down should show you options.
