I was about to say the same thing suzky - we got ours from the jewellery quarter and was about double the price for platinum compared with white gold Do you have pics of your rings suzky?

suzki actually said Palladium (and platinum), and bought palladium
I can resist anything but temptation
CommentAuthorsuzky123
oh i thought it said platinum and palladium hence the confusion. sowry
Yes I have a pic of my engagement ring in my albulm. Not taken a pic of the wedding band yet but it all matches. We were even picky and said we wanted the diamonds parallel haha! Finger a bit red in the piccy as I had just tried getting the bugga off. Its a tight fit by the knuckle but due to dodgy shaped hands, loose around the main bulk of the bottom of the finger. The old ring was the same but I dont want to put platinum balls or anything on it. Its fine when the wedding band is on and doesnt spin then.

our rings were £950 for both.mine is an 18k white gold with tiny diamonds around in a wishbone design and h2b is 9k white gold with deep sqiggles engraved around.we got £40.00 knocked off and free plating on my white gold engagement ring.yey. we were told by a few jewllers that its best to have same caret as engangement ring and type or they end up tarnishing quicker....dont know how true it is.xx p.s- we overspent but love them.xx
CommentAuthorsuzky123
I know. I had the wedding band on but david wanted me to not put a pic of it on facebook and we were not exactly careful about getting them all off. Also, the small diamond was rubbing when I first got it so I must admit I was worried but no red marks now and I have had it 4 days :) Must have just been getting used to it perhaps.
I just hate the shape of my fingers. Its so awkward having huge knuckles and skinny fingers :( Just lucky that in 4 months the wedding band will go on and then it shouldnt spin. It does spin less than the first ring as its a thicker band (which is also making it more difficult to get off), I have just played with it now.... so much simpler to get it off by twisting instead of yanking haha!

The price of gold has risen... it fluctuates I think... I didn't mean cheaper than the gold - my bad I didn't word it right. But 18k white gold would have been £310 - platinum £320 and the palladium was £240 9k gold was £245... These prices were different than our first quote where platinum and palladium were way way above gold prices x
Here comes the bride......
CommentAuthorsuzky123
palladium used to be cheap but now due to its popularity, it is defo going up. Still one of the cheapest to buy overall though at the minute but watch this space. May be a good investment in the future? Our jeweller said it will be the new platinum one day... we were surprised by this but it just goes to show how trends change

Gold does hold its value a lot better than anything else - thats why we are all meant to by gold bullions rather than put the money in the bank :)

i got my ring for free and could be a good idea for next years brides, i have always saved clubcard points throughout the year and used them at xmas and new year but goldsmiths had an offer on the clubcard rewards and for every £10 of clubcard vouchers u were getting £40 of goldsmiths vouchers, i had £100 so got £400 to spend, as h2b works in construction he didnt want one so got it all to myself.. luv a bargain lol xx
CommentAuthorsuzky123
wow that is a fab idea. I am more of a nectar point collector haha!
Yeah I know money is in gold but where the heck do we store it hehe. Much easier in the bank. knowing my luck when I came ot sell it id sell to someone dodgy.

Mine was 450, H2B's was 375 though its just cost an extra 42 cos it doesnt fit him anymore, so had to get it resized!
CommentAuthorMrs Davro
Kaz, my mum did that with my nans christmas present, although I have to admit I didn't like the customer service that much. What she bought cost 79 and had 80, the woman said would you like a polishing cloth for 4, (no) she then asked is about 6 times, so you would like to loose your pound, err yea.
CommentAuthorGazza 122
Our Palladium rings were way more expensive then 18ct white gold, but overall i prefer it as they wont fade or go yellowish needing the rhodium plating constantly. We were not going to spend so much on the wedding rings, but we both found exactly what we were hoping for so we thought.oh well!, we will be wearing them for the rest of our lives, so might as well love them....and as was already said, it dont matter how expensive, or non expensive they are - as long as you love them and the what it symbolises, xxxx

We were originally buying them from jewellers were my e ring came from but if was £740 for a 2mm 18ct white gold ring shaped around my e ring and h2b's 6mm palladium ring was £535 however we bought them from ***********8 instead at a cost of £515 for my ring & £475 for the h2bs so nice saving of £290 :-)
CommentAuthorbridalmiss
OOh fantastic I thought platinum was more expensive than that, when we got the engagement ring last Jan it was 3 times the price of the white gold which is why we went against the platinum! Hmm shopping this weekend should be fun fun fun!!

We have only just started looking at rings and am a little stuck!! My engagement ring is a funny shape, so it will need to be custom made to fit properly. I only want a plain 9ct white gold band which is shaped in 2mm, but not really too sure where to go for it....any suggestions would be great, we live in Berkshire so London is a option. We met with the designer at Ernest jones but he was rude and uninterested, but quoted £556 which seems high for a plain ring with no diamonds!!
Has anyone tried******* Wedding Rings before? The bring the rings to you at home as they are a online company....but i'm not too sure about them!! Thanks :-)

Mine was about 500 and h2b's about 400 but we got 10% off because it's from the same place as my e-ring. Both plain platinum. Mine is 2.5mm I wanted it thin to match my e-ring, it's a flat court shape, and h2b's is 6mm palladium. Really simple but really lovely.
Ours were from an independent jeweller with a workshop in store and they've been so wonderful. H2b was so impressed he said any future jewellery will be from there. (eternity ring, eternity ring, eternity ring! haha!)

our rings are £1300. h2bs ring in only about £400 we got £150 off as we made the appointment at a wedding fair aswell :D. only got about £160 left to pay. cant wait to see them. i got mine from perfectring. they were so helpful with helping me decide which one.

We went for 18k white gold in the end, as they polished up my e ring and diamond and it looked lovely so no need to swap it to platinum - so a 2.5mm white gold band with 26 brilliant channel set diamonds - 445! So lovely, I love the Jewellery Quarter!!

My ring is 9ct white gold with diamonds and it cost £250, H2B's ring is 5mm heavy 9ct white gold and also cost £250. both from sammy H's. I love them both. :)

Hi Debmcc
We can't comment on how good we are on the forum as that would be advertising but there are several recent threads about what people think of us. Booking an appointment doesn't commit you to anything as there's absolutely no obligation to buy. Most appointments only take an jour or so and you get dome free gifts even if you don't order your rings from us. Have a look at the other trhreads and see what people say about us.
CommentAuthorkrissy905
debmcc i have ordered from them and couldn't recommend them enough its deffintly worth getting them out our adviser was friendly and knowledgeable about the rings they had loads to chose from we didn't feel rushed or perused and he was quite happy to leave with out a sale and for us to ring and order later if we wanted have a look on facebook they have there own page and always have lovely comments from customers there is also pictures posted buy couples who bought there rings

our rings are from them too :) wouldnt go anywhere else now! perfect! brilliant customer service also xx

Right from the start we decided the three most important things to us were The venue The rings and The photos So because of this we decided these are the things we would spend a little extra on and not actually have a PROPER budget for, they would cost what they cost to have what we wanted! This is because to US the venue sets the tone for the whole day so we had to get it right The rings are the only thing that we would use everyday for the rest of our lives and would last beyond the actual wedding day. Same with the photo's, although not used everyday they too last beyond the day and would remind us of what a great day it was in years to come..................so these things we are willing to pay more for!
With that said back to your question. We will be getting our rings from that lovely online site that comes on here quite a bit H2b's ring will be a 5mm 2tone 9ct white gold ring with a square cut diamond in the middle which costs £335 Mine will be a 3mm 9ct white gold ring which will have one big diamond in the middle then two smaller diamonds each side of it to represent me (the middle) and my family members (h2b and 3 kids) and this costs £385! (all square cut to match my engagement rings diamond) Yes they will cost more then most but they will be custome made to exactly how we want them and like I said we will be wearing them for the rest of our lives so worth every penny in my opinion!

CommentAuthorShaz1984
When we started looking at rings I knew exactly what I wanted. My egagement ring is pink sapphire and diamonds and I wanted a wedding ring with pink sapphires in too. It took ages to find one that was in the budget but surprisingly enough I found the perfect one on Amazon for £129. H2B wanted something really lightweight but something a little different to just a plain gold bank. Managed to find the exact ring for him, it's black titanium and was £60. Although buying them last year probably was a bad idea as we have each lost 3 stone and the rings are now too big.
CommentAuthorDebmcc
Thank you for your help everyone! We have found a couple of rings we like on their site so will give them a try! :-)
CommentAuthorsarahjo89
Sorry to bring this discussion back up again! I'm just curious how you all managed to find your wedding rings for such a reasonable price? Just to be nosey we went into the jewellers where my engagement ring was bought, and a platinum wedding band with diamonds for me was £1500, and a palladium with a few small diamonds for my partner was £1095 - thats over £2.5k just for two rings?! I did mention to him we should check out the diamond quarter in birmingham as a number of people I work with have got engagement rings/wedding rings from there. Just wondering if anyone here has bought their's from birmingham, is the quality really good? Do you have to pay upfront or are your able to pay monthly? We want something really good quality that we absolutely love but don't want to be paying a fortune for them! :-)

As mentioned before in a different thread, I'm odd and so is my OH. We're not having rings mainly because Andrew has extra webbing between his ring and middle fingers but also because we wanted to do something different. At the ceremony we're exchanging engraved leather bracelets with our vows on and we're having the infinity symbol tattooed on our ring fingers.
In total they comes to £35 each.
CommentAuthorButtonAndBoo
Both of ours come to £111.98 with engraving (photo's on my profile). We where going to spend £150 max so think we have done okay considering we get engraving and it comes in my size (I have stupidly skinny and small fingers size F).

I got mine from the jewellery quarter, in birmingham, pic in my album, it was 2010 and I think platinum prices were a bit higher then but cost £1450 for mine plus h2bs plain thick platinum one We paid in installments and they were fine about it

Ours were really cheap! H2B will only wear his on weekends most likely as he probs won't wear it to work, and as I can only have a plain band due to work, we got some titanium ones. About £60 for both, but they are so comfy as they are flat on the outside, and the inside is rounded so sits comfy on your finger.

We got ours from the jewellery quarter, my engagement ring was 740 but the insurance valuation is 1339 from GL Bendicks, and my wedding ring (25 diamond channel set) was 440 from Marlowes. Both 18 carat white gold :-) - you should go for the day and have a look around, there's lots of choice and if you don't like them then go back to high street :-)
CommentAuthorsuzky123
I cant remember how much ours were but we didnt go to a chain but instead somewhere in chester who made bespoke rings.
for£2800 he changed the style of my E.ring due to issues when I brought it somewhere else, and I have 0.90 carats diamonds in an eternity style setting for my wedding band, hubby to be half way round black diamonds. Both rings platinum. Both rings worth over 4000 so bespoke is cheaper than high street. We received a quote from a high street for just daves and they quoted 3k as if!
