Looking for a place (or area) in London renowned for being good place to buy engagement ring. Looking to spend around £2/3000

My mum said its not a good idea to buy a woman a cheap engagement ring.

www.QualityVintageEngagementRings.com – Vintage engagement rings are the perfect way to show someone how much you care about them. Watch this video to learn about the difference between vintage engagement rings, antique engagement rings, and vintage style engagement rings.

I’d quite like something like white gold, but heard it needs replated often; platinum its probably just a bit too expensive; 18ct, I’ve heard is quite soft, and might wear away at a wedding ring. Opinions please.
Thanks so far, everyone! Varied answers, so makes interesting reading! I think my preference is for a white metal, but am still undecided. Will continue to enjoy your answers, so thanks again!

i want to purchase a gold “one ring” like the one from lord of the rings as an engagement ring for my fiance but i want to customise the engraving but in elvish translation and handwriting….does anyone know where i can buy one like these or a site that translates a sentence in elvish and using the elvish font?….thanks guys!
