THE Ring

A friend of mine doesn't have an engagement ring, instead she has a beautiful titanium engraved wedding band that she and her husband chose in the Netherlands. I've never seen anything like it in the UK, it's certainly more original and personal than the majority of them. But my engagement has lasted a year, and there's no way I could hold off getting a gorgeous ring that long. Being a huge jewellery fan and regular at Dazzle, I was really keen to find a contemporary craftsperson, so my HTB and I went along to Gabriel's Wharf on the Southbank in London. We bought a beautiful handmade 18ct yellow gold ring with brown diamond from Mikala Djorup. It's so refreshing to deal with someone that's friendly and helpful, customer service in London is often woefully poor. In fact we've been so pleased with the ring that Mikala has also made our wedding bands, can't recommend her highly enough!
