We bought my wedding ring on Saturday, and I think I’ve tried it on about 50 times since. Considering the rising cost of Platinum, it was rather a good deal at £570 and, for once, I don’t feel ripped off. Like a fine wine, I must be mellowing with age.

My other half has decided on a titanium ring - it’s more durable than Platinum, tough, lightweight, scratch-resistant and hypoallergenic. He fancies a double comfort design (flat on the outside, curved on the inside) with a width of 7mm. The Platinum version was £2,500 (extortionate) but the titanium version only £36 from UK Titanium Jewellery. Bargain eh?

Best of all - if he loses it, it’s no big deal. At that price, we can afford to replace it right away.
