    I'm getting a titanium engagement ring from Wedding Rings Direct. I can't have an engagement ring with a stone in it due to my job so it's getting stardust engraved so it still has sparkle and is very tough and light.

    It's costing just under a £100, but the cost is irrelevant as it is perfect for me.
    When you're chewing on life's gristle, don't grumble, give a whistle.

    Well good luck. My hubby & I have been together for 20 years met him on my 21st birthday party. Still remember single red rose etc, the ring will not matter it is the sentiment behind it. Which ever style you choose she will love it.

    Have you had a look here?

    They seem to have some bargains (there are some "out there" styles but some more delicate rings mixed in)

    Think I may have found the ring, would you call it an engagement ring?

    Or I could go for the celtic as both of us have a lot of Irish past.

    its not the epitome of an engagement ring imo, but when you give someone a ring asking them to marry you it will be an engagement ring iyswim?
    i would have liked the 'normal' white gold/ silver with diamond stone on top but i got gold with a sapphire! i would change it but seeing as its 11 years old theres no point now lol
