Pick up an engagement ring for a quid at Poundland in Hastings and Bexhill
The ‘bling rings’ as they are being called are intended to be a ‘place-holder’ item until those proposing come up with the real engagement ring.
The rings, which have a Cubic Zirconia stone and come in a plush red velvet box, are part of Poundland’s Valentines Day range and are available in a variety of colours - including one with a silver band and blue stone.

Poundland said the rings give people the opportunity to propose “before they need to invest in the real rock”.
A Poundland spokesperson said: “These are beautiful placeholder rings because we know they’ll want to buy their own. We’re looking forward to a #PoundlandProposal becoming the way it’s done. Our Bling Ring is setting the scene for the real deal.”
