DH and I were students when we got engaged and he bought a token ring for me. We've been together 22 years this year and he would like to buy a proper engagement ring or just a ring as a symbol of the years we've endured enjoyed.
I prefer the idea of something old/vintage so would like to poke about in some shops when we are able.
I also quite like the Hairy Growler in Cambridge and have toyed with the idea of commissioning him or somebody similar to make something unique.
I'm a bit of an old hippy, like nature, gardening, colour. Style wise, I live in ridiculous dungarees with alarming patterns, patchwork stuff I've made or found in charity shops, DMs, tie dye, bright colours, patterned tights, ludicrous home knitwear. Jewellery wise, I don't really wear it aside from my wedding ring. I like ridiculous earrings, curiosities, multi-coloured costume jewellery. Hopefully, I don't look as jaw droppingly awful as I've made it sound. 13yo DD refers to me as a Gudrun Sjoden model in training which isn't far off the mark (clothes wise at least, I have a face for radio).
I don't want to spend a fortune because I'm not that person but wondered how to find something meaningful and a bit different as a non-shopper.
Where do I start?
