Getting hitched is a costly business, there’s no two ways about it.

Saying your “I do’s” is a very special time for any couple, but more and more lovebirds are realising that putting themselves under pressure financially is not the way to start a life of wedded bliss. Of course the big expense begins with the ring.

Loyes Diamonds specialises in providing engagement rings to adults in their late twenties and early thirties. The company, set up by 28 year old Stacey Scoulding, who has over ten years worth of experience in the diamond industry and trained with Ireland’s top jeweler, Paul Sheeran, offers a stunning and extensive range of over 200 rings, with varying mount settings, colours, clarity and carat sizes in similar styles to Tiffany’s and other luxury brands, but for a fraction of the price. She can also offer potential buyers a professional examination of the cuts of stones, without any obligation to buy, which is unusual in the industry. Prices start at only €1,500 and most rings are in the €1,500 to €5,000 price range, and can also be further tailored to suit individual budgets.
