    Surely it must weigh more than 1g??
    Any discount/free delivery codes??

    Sorry, I worded that poorly. I didn't mean to say the ring only weighed 1g, rather that if it did, that would be the scrap value.

    I did understand fully P, just as you suggested it must be at least the price as scrap value.
    What is the average ring size anyone??
    If you get these I can't see you losing, you could ebay and at least get your money back. It's a shame the weight isn't shown and why don't Tesco just scrap them??

    This has got to be a mis-price the other sizes of the same ring are dearer.
    Good luck if these arrive.

    Assuming the ring is around 1g in weight then £9.50 is roughly the scrap value.

    Actually the scrap value is nearer £7 per gram. I'm a bit slow tonight. :rolleyes:

    So if it happens to be 2g then it might be worth £14!!

    I think it's a nice ring. What size would small be in ladies??

    Just done some quick calcs and assuming width of 4mm and thickness of 1.2mm, I get a weight of 2.1gm!
    Anyhow, just ordered 2.

    Where can you get £9.50/gm?
    The best i can get is £6.97/gm!:confused:
