Choosing your own engagement ring is a fairly modern concept. In the past, choosing the engagement ring has been down to the man who’s proposing, perhaps with a little help from his friends. Maybe his family has a custom to hand down jewellery and you received a ‘second hand’ engagement ring from his great grandmother.

Even if you chose your own engagement ring, there may come a time when the large diamond ring is impractical for work or performing simple tasks around the house. That’s when asking oh so sweetly for rings can give you the chance to choose a more suitable engagement ring.

Other, popular, reasons we ask for an upgrade include the birth of a child, a work promotion and relationship milestones such as a 1 year wedding anniversary, 5 year anniversary, 10 year anniversary, you get the idea.

If you had a diamond solitaire engagement ring, you might want to upgrade to a tri-stone ring with three diamonds, or a mix of gemstones to represent the three stages, the past, the present and the future.

There are always good reasons why you need new rings and at Rings.org.uk we are happy to help. With over 10,000 rings from top brands, we have rings for every occasion.
