Rings

So Lyn and I have finally decided on the design of our wedding rings after a very pleasant trip to Hatton Gardens in London. Interesting range of shops, with an interesting range of sales people. Who, very often, spoke total nonsense about the benefits of their rings.


Like the shop that offered us a price for the rings, then offered to take over £1000 off the price, because 'we seemed nice'.


LIke the shop that told us that their 18ct gold was, gram-for-gram, heavier and stronger than 18ct gold from other shops.


Like the shop that went to considerable lengths to convince us that a German-machined ring was significantly superior to rings machined in Hong Kong (as if we were discussed precision-made components for a jet fighter or something!)


Very quickly, Lyn and I came to opinion that if it fulfilled these criteria, then it was fine:


1) It should be ring shaped
2) It should be metal
3) It shouldn't cost the same as a deposit on a house


In then end, we picked a two-tone ring in white gold and rose gold, which we both really liked.




The precise design will be revealed on the big day!


Anyway, that's enough babble from me. Hope everyone's staying hale, healthy and hearty!
