    The second one, I think. She'd probably think that you're proposing if you gave her one of the others...

    The second one's quite stylish, the first one would make you look like a cheap skate and the third one's just a bit vulgar. Tuppence worth.
    They told me I was gullible ... and I believed them.

    I agree with Theo here.The others certainly look more like engagement rings.

    Whilst I agree with the others that the first and the third look more like engagement rings, out of the three I think the first looks best. The second and the third look horrible IMHO.

    How long have you been together?

    I'd go with the first or the 3rd. They look elegant.

    I think they're all a bit much for an 18th - unless you're talking engagement also!

    It's a tough call - but maybe a necklace would be a better (and safer option) - in my experience rings cause families to start planning for the big event!

    Past Times have a load of nice jewellery sets - e.g. Necklace and Bracelets. Have a look around there:

    I like the first one, the second one is too geometric and the third, well i just dont like claw settings they get caught on things when u're rummaging in bags to find keys etc.

    I like the first one, although it is a little like an engagement ring, and also the second. The third one is just horrible - I find those kinds of settings really old fashioned.

    On a side note: PrivatePyle HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA that sig is quality

    Nah, not keen on that one. I think you had the right idea with the first two - something simple but elegant.

    If you want to find a nice necklace, get off yout butt, stop surfing the interweb, and go and visit some actual jewellers shops Shopping for stuff like that online is a nightmare. You should quite easily be able to find something - if you wanted one to match, you could get one with a silver/white gold chain and a small diamond? Should set you back about the same amount as the ring.

    It'll be worth it tho, she'll be bowled over
