“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” Coco Chanel

Engagement ring wisdom

Received wisdom in this case is contrary to common sense.

The choice should be between the nicest ring you can afford, and the best value ring you can find – that you can afford. Let me explain….

Any purchase these days can be made more sensibly by using the internet as your tool of choice. The high street is the final part of any purchase, not the first.

So, if you research well, understand what it is you want (style, size etc) then play off all suppliers against each over until you have what is likely to be the best possible price.

Failing this, the next best thing is to be in Hatton Garden as early as is humanly possible on a Monday morning. Legend has it that Jewish jewellers find it very unlucky to miss the first potential sale of the week – and are therefore more likely to give you a good deal.

This is probably as reliable as the received wisdom (see above). So stick to the Webinet.
