  • My fault, I apologise if you have experienced any spam.
    I did just google ethical "engagement ring" and then post some results.
    Seems brillian are happy for the exposure but I must say I have nothing to do with them, they were a random link pulled out of the intertubes.

    To be fair I don't think they were aware of the rules, being a new user. For what it's worth, I have found Brillian to be very helpful and communicative and I think it's highly likely I will get my engagement ring from them.

    No harm done, IMHO.

    The problem I have is the 3 or 4 rings I really like are all in fraser hart.

    Compared to the likes of Ernest Jones or Goldsmiths, Hart are just so much dearer!! I know I'll get a lot more carat for my money elsewhere but check out this ring!! - http://www.fraserhart.co.uk/p-1557-18ct-white-gold-114ct-total-diamond-ring-colour-gh-clarity-si.aspx

    Anyone had any dealings with fraser hart, would asking for 15% off be cheeky?

    Thanks emz, wish I had got in there before the VAT rise! I will probably go with Brillian as they offered the old VAT rate plus discount if we purchase within 30 days. Got to take savings where you can!

    The Leah one is gorgeous too! What carat did you go for? Did you just buy online or did you call? It seems a big purchase just to make online?

    The sample they sent is of very good quality and they have been really helpful so far so that seems a good sign. The wedding ring I like from there is less than £130 if I get white gold (I like plain!) so seems a good idea.

    hey, just reading your post there noticed you were talking about a platinum engagement ring but white gold wedding ring?It is normally recommended you wear the same metals together as otherwise the hardwr metal will wear down the softer. hope this helps!
  • yeh thats true
    i have a 18ct white gold engagement ring, so had to go for 18ct wedding ring, if i had gone for 9ct the enagement ring would have rubbed it down

    You definitely should not mix platinum and 18 carat gold as the gold is a much softer composition.
