Hi all, I’m planning a surprise for my girlfriend’s birthday and could do with some advice. She’s wanted a particular handbag for ages, so she’s getting that along with a bouquet. The plan is to slip a ring box inside the bag and ask her to open it while I hand it over. When she sees the ring, I’ll propose right there. The bag and the flowers are sorted, it’s the ring I’m stuck on. Where in the UK should I be looking for interesting engagement rings?

Engagement ring

A birthday proposal is a nice idea, the date will count double from now on. Most people head straight for a plain diamond solitaire, but sapphires and emeralds make a ring people remember. I'd have a look at Boodles for those. Plus Annoushka does rings with unusual stones, so there's something to compare it with.

Engagement ring

Big jewellery houses charge a lot for the name over the door, and the ring doesn't look any better for it. A smaller jeweller can make one that looks just as good for a lot less. You can browse the rings at Pierre Jewellery here: https://pierrejewellery.uk/ . The money you save can go towards the wedding. She won't be checking whose name is on the box, she'll be looking at the stone.
