    You could look in the Birmingham Jewellery Quarter or London's Hatton Garden and have them made.

    Have you tried online? I used http://www.weddingrings-direct.com/ and was really pleased with their service.

    I ordered sample rings in silver (costs around £2 per sample and you have to send them back) before committing to buying the real things.

    I was very impressed with thier service, I know a few mse brides have ordered from here too. I got an 18ct plain heavy yellow gold band inscribed for £114
  • I bought an engagement ring and then our wedding rings from weddingsrings direct. I can recommend them highly enough. Great prices and quick delivery. It seems like a small company so you get a personal service.

    We just bought our wedding rings from http://www.theweddingringspecialist.co.uk/

    I got a palladium 2mm court band for £50 and OH got palladium 4mm court band for £150. They both came in lovely wooden boxes and free delivery.

    I'd recommend getting sized up in a jewellers first and choosing your style in a jewellers where you can try them on. Then fast hop it to the internet for a bargain.

    Ours came from A&S Jewellers in Hatton Garden - £350 for the pair. I have an 18ct gold band, OH has a 9ct gold plain band. The guy we saw in there was really helpful, and the rings came in a couple of days after ordering!

    We're getting ours from Elma Jewellery too, 9ct white gold ring and a titanium one for h2b for under £100! Also impressed with their service - our rings were sent out in the wrong sizes (mine in h2bs size and his in my size!) but I had an email straight back apologising for the error so just got to post these ones back to them, and they offered to refund the postage as well, didn't even have to ask.

    If you're in the south east I bought mine from a company called Bliss Rings. They come to your home and you can try on hundreds - ours came to £500 together but mine was fancy shaped with diamonds so it's completely possible you could get what you want cheaper. Prices are all on the website - it comes up if you google.

    Service has been good - got rings after 5-6 weeks as stated and when H2Bs was in wrong size he posted it back and they're sending a new one out.

    We used Betts Metal sales

    I seen them online and i live in birmingham so i went to the jewelry quarter and ordered them. They made them and we had to go and collect 4 days later. we paid £260 for ours(for the 2). But first i went next door and weighed in a rope chain i had which had broken in 3 parts.. got £100 for that.. so was really pleased.. The rings are really nice, we had a beaded each on them both.

    Betts Metals was the cheapest place i found. we looked at Argos rings but they was so thin and light they reminded me and kids play rings

    If you register you get Trade prices. I am registered but went to shop to order.

    Betts and Charles Green are suppliers to the main high-street jewellers - both will sell to the general public.
