I differ, you do need an engagement ring

Why? There is no legal basis to 'being engaged' - it's just an agreement between two people that they intend to get married at some time in the future. A ring makes this no more nor less binding.

but, I somehow agree that you do not need to spend £5k on an engagement ring. You could definitely go with an inexpensive ring which fits your budget. As a matter of fact, there are a variety of rings available with extremely good quality and with less amount of money. I'll be sure to let you know one from one of my friends. I am not so much good with diamonds but of course my friend suzy is, will take her help and let you know.

You lost me there I'm afraid.

I need to buy an engagement ring as my partner would like to get married.
I would like to spend upto 5k on a ring

I'd hate to think how much the wedding ring would cost when the time comes.........

My engagement ring was £40. Yes very cheap, but is a lovely cluster of sparkling gemstones. Puts expensive rings to shame IMHO. It's the thought that counts & NOT how much.
Save any expense for the wedding & the wedding ring.
