According to the Office for National Statistics, 42% of marriages end in divorce. So why bother? For the jewellery, obviously.

An engagement ring set with a vintage Wedgwood cameo of Cupid makes perfect sense, doesn’t it?
VAN CLEEF & ARPELS
VAN CLEEF & ARPELS FRIVOLE RING
Flowers are a nice demonstration of affection, but they tend to die. Avoid the realities of this metaphor with a ring from the Van Cleef & Arpels Frivole collection.

We did say ‘alternative’ engagement rings.
