A pretty ring, but not an expensive one. In fact, a very budget one.

[treaclesoda]

I want a ring. It's not an engagement ring or anything like that , just a ring. But I would like it to be something for the long term, not something I will be bored of in a couple of years.

The budget is about £150, so I know we are not talking about a timeless, valuable piece of jewellery, but that isn't important to me.

But I have quite a specific brief. I have tiny hands, so it needs to be a very fine ring. It needs to be small, because anything 'costumey' or 'cocktail ring' just looks crazy on my wee hands. And it needs to be almost flat, because I can't bear the feel of wearing a ring that isn't flat (even my engagement ring is flat). And it has to be gold in colour, because silver makes my hands look awful.

Does my dream ring exist?

Lovely rings on here. Lots of different prices.

Bit over budget but think it ticks the boxes otherwise?

Monica may have you already, but really consider commissioning something in a local jewellery shop. My engagement and wedding rings were made exactly to my specification (based on pics I'd seen on web) at very reasonable prices compared to the high street jewellers.

I love jewellery!
