Where can I find a cheaper engagement ring?

DP has announced he wants to buy me an engagement ring (after 8 years together and 3 kids). Its second time around for both of us and we are very practical and not very romantic...

We have up to £1000 to spend. I love Aquamarines and saphires and white gold and have quite chunky fingers. We've been out looking today and everything we liked was £3,000+. I really can't justify that and can't even really justify the £1000 we have to spend either. TBH I would equally like a new stair carpet and a chest of drawers in DS2s room! Grin

I read on here ages ago about websites that sell 18c white gold and real gemstone rings but that the "diamonds" are actually lab-created or some other semi-precious stone. Can anyone help find me a website or a ring where its prices in the £100s rather than the £1000s?

I love rings like this Deco style one or this trilogy type

The selection on the website isn't great, but if you can make it to the store they have some truly beautiful rings, and they're usually willing to negotiate on price

The website doesn't have anywhere near their full selection, but if you can make it to the store they have some really beautiful rings. they're usually willing to negotiate on price as well

I bought some lovely "diamond" earrings from QVC recently - they are very realistic. If you're not particular about real diamonds, I would highly recommend them.

There's a vintage fair at Kempton Park, just outside London twice a month. Some of the stalls inside have lovely vintage jewellery.
