'fake' wedding and engagement ring

14 replies

I'm looking for a cheap wedding and engagement ring to use on holiday. I've recently lost lot of weight and my rings are too big and I'm worried I'll lose them if I take them. I need to get them resized at some point but I've seen people on here mention that they have a costume set for holidays and thought that would be a good temporary measure. Any recommendations? I had a look at qvc diamonique (cheaper is better but does have to be sterling silver due to my silly skin) but the styles I like are all huge rocks which is not like my 'real' 1/2 carat ring

I was going to say QVC Grin

I have a couple of silver pave set rings- one a single line of stones (full eternity) one a pave set 3 row eternity (very much in the style of a Tiffany band pave ring. And a pave shoulder solitaire under 1ct equivalent weight. All 3 cost under £100 together.

Definately recommend the smaller stones (though I do have a couple of huge stone earrings for flash )

If you just want something simple and cheap what about something like this on amazon. There are quite a lot of similar options on there.

Cubic zirconia is your best bet for real-looking but cheap :)

Simple and cheap?
Have a look at All Express - you're talking pence for rings, not silver but could you coat the inside with clear nail varnish?

I bought a really nice fake ring from Goldsmiths, brand called Amora , for my mum to wear in hospital. She has dementia and not wearing her rings (for safety) makes her very upset.

TheAladdinsCave on Etsy has some lovely stuff. I have a silver ring with three lab diamonds. Think it was 60 quid and is still beautiful three years on

Have a look at Accessorize. They do some nice bits in their 'Z' range.

M+S have a load of cheap dress rings

Thank you all. Have now ordered a set from the Aladdins Cave on Etsy from Jenda's recommendation. Hope they're nice when they come!

Oooh I hope they are too! Mine was a temporary engagement ring " for a few months". Had it three years now and haven't got round to it but it looks good enough not to worry about it for a while!

I bought a cheap silver fake wedding ring from Argos for about twelve quid. It saved me worrying about losing my real one on my honeymoon and was useful again when I was pregnant and my fingers swelled up, as for some reason it's bigger than my proper ring. I didn't bother with a fake engagement ring.
