Things we've bought

Our rings

On our recent trip to Lisbon (by recent I mean last year!) we decided to try and track down some wedding rings. We had previously bought both our commitment rings, as well as Cat’s engagement ring in Lisbon, so we wanted to carry on the tradition.

We knew we wanted 19.2 caret gold (Portuguese gold is unique in that it comes in 19.2 caret rather than the 18 caret that is seen in the rest of the world) to match her engagement ring.

After trying many shops, we settled on 2 rings from the shop we almost got the engagement ring from. They are actually commitment rings, but I wanted a lightweight band, rather than anything chunky.

Fortunately we managed to order them to arrive before we flew back to England. They are made of white gold, and I think look really good (as long as I don’t get fatter fingers between now and June – I wanted a tight band).

Can’t wait to put them on for real!!
