Rock Revival: alternative engagement rings

30 January 2011

The Alternative Wedding Show at Kath Libbert's Jewellery Gallery Salts Mill, Saltaire, Yorkshire from the 6 Feb to the 2 May is the place to see rings with a different facet. Small makers and original designs make these very individual rings perfect for free-thinkers who are contemplating the down-on-one-knee moment. Kath Libbert Jewellery Gallery is going to be a-twinkling with engagement and wedding rings that will appeal those who prefer the meandering side lanes to the main stream of style. From David McCaul's swooping and elegant rings to Josef Koppman's chunky bold designs, there is plenty to chose for those who are looking for an alternative way to say 'I love you.' And while you are there, have a look at the vast collection of work by David Hockney - a complete day out.
