We went to Southall and bought a matching pair of rings for a fraction of the price of a normal (ie white) jeweller. So called "indian gold", so hallmarks are scarce/missing, but good quality and it's glinting on my finger as I type this. It's not a plain band, it's decorated with a simple engraved pattern. From memory it was £250 for the two, but this was 15 years ago, so memory a bit hazy. Recommended. Just start at the first jewellers you find, and keep visiting others until you see a ring you like. It's all done by weight, so pricing seems a bit hit and miss to my Argos accustomed way of doing things, but I've bought lots of gold from the shops in Southall that way, and never felt ripped off. Had some friends over from Dehli once, they brought some gold over to sell in Southall - they didn't thing they had been ripped of either.
Congratulations btw.
