Is this ok for an engagement ring?

Hi, I've bought an engagement ring to propose to my girlfriend. It's a Pandora brilliance 0.15 carat ring and cost me £250. I know it's not much but it's all I could afford and I know she will be happy with anything, but do you think it's ok? I think it looks lovely. Here's a link:

    I also did not look at the ring - if you know she will be happy, why does it matter what the ring costs? 
    I am sure there are better thing to spend money on to start your lives together than a ring.
    Have you checked her ring-size, that it will be a good fit (physically to her finger)?

    Good luck and may you have many happy years together :smiley:

    Thank you both, I guess these days materialistic stuff gets the better of me and I see people proposing with £1000-1500 rings.

    I chose my engagement ring with my hubby and it cost a lot less than the figures you’ve just quoted. I love it and honestly would be terrified at having such an expensive piece of jewellery. 

    Your partner will love what you have chosen I am sure.
