Engagementringwimb - Some questions, if I may?

[Rich]

- What is the benefit of Platinum over 18k white gold?

- How many carats should the diamond be, at a minimum. Would a 0.5 carat diamond look silly small if surrounded with a band of tiny diamonds (halo ring)?

- Is there any specific jewelers that offer more ring for your pound or are they all much of a muchness?

- Is there much value in buying used (don't like the thought of a ring being previously owned by someone else, tbh).

Asking for a friend.

I recommend ....

... watching the Dave Gorman from the other week on why engagement rings are a rip off. Diamonds are neither rare, nor beautiful. The eye cannot tell the difference between a real and fake.

Happy Friday to you too, A.

That's like wearing a fake watch though, you know it's a fake and therefore it doesn't give you that same feeling that wearing something genuine does

I am unaware of this feeling, but I'll take your word for it.

It's rather like appreciating the difference between The Who and Oasis.

But one sometimes wishs for a burger in preference to fillet steak.

White Gold needs regular (every year) dipping otherwise it starts to lose it's colour and can cause irritation.

Hatton Garden is your best bet

Anything over a carat starts to look a bit too bling, imo. Buy a better cut, colour, clarity than worrying about size

Just let your missus pick it and stop being an incorrigible prick.
