For the traditional diamond solitaire engagement ring, his and hers wedding bands, and even thank you gifts for your attendants such as engraved silver picture frames, tankards or watches, the jeweller has them all! Rings made from yellow gold are most conventional, but bands made from white, Welsh or rose gold, platinum, titanium or stainless steel are steadily increasing in popularity. It used to be considered correct for the groom to have spent a month's wages on the engagement ring, and to have bought it prior to proposing. Modern brides prefer to have an input as to the style of her ring - as you will be wearing this wedding jewellery for the rest of your life! If you don't want to go for a diamond, the bride's birthstone makes an individual alternative. Bespoke engagement rings and wedding rings are not necessarily more expensive, and ensure your choice will be unique.
