You are now at the point where you need to determine what type of merchant you will purchase the diamond and ring from.
Let’s recap the choices you have:
International Jewellery Brand with UK presence
National Jewellery Chain
Independent High Street Retailer
Online Diamond Merchant
Independent Diamond Merchant
Diamond Jewellery Designer
The type you choose will be a result of:
a) how much time you have before the proposal (if you already have a date in mind)
b) how much time you are willing to spend researching the diamond
c) how trusting you are
d) how much money you are willing to spend
This is a relatively new material for making engagement rings out of. It is a darker metal than platinum but very, very strong. It is also hypoallergenic. While it isn’t nearly as rare as gold or platinum, it is more difficult to craft as it is so hard so the price usually reflects this.
The website www.titaniumera.com/uk/index.html will illustrate the darkness of the metal and how it looks with a diamond. It certainly is different and if your girl is looking for a darker metal, it could be a great option.
