    Hi all,
    My brother is hoping to ask his Gf to marry him in August, when they are away on hols. He is hoping to have the ring and all before then, and is travelling to Dublin in two weeks for work business.

    He hasnt a clue about dublin, but reckons its his only chance to pick up a ring for her!!

    Any ideas for the best jewellers to get a good deal on a ring, somewhere that he could haggle... with a decent selection etc... I cant see him wandering around all day looking, He'd lose interest!!

    Thanks a million

    McDowells on O'Connell Street were fantastic to us...Actually too good as my wife has been back there far too many times since :)

    Is that 'The Happy Ring House'?

    There are plenty of jewellers on or off Grafton St. and from there down Johnson's Court into Powerscourt centre which has a few more.

    I won't list them all, if you google "Dublin Jewellers" you will get a map, zoom in a bit and look at the Grafton St area, and Johnson's Court runs West to Powerscourt.

    He can cover all those quickly and still get to see a variety of ranges and prices.

    Powerscourt Shopping Centre has a section filled with antique jewellers which I'm sure you could haggle with. Lots of engagement type rings in the windows too.

    Fields are also on Henry St near the O'connell St end! I got agood discount on my ring and that was at the height of the boom and a 10% discount card on further purchases of jewellery. I have used the card several times since and so has my Mum :)

    he hasn't a clue about Dublin...but has he got a better clue about engagement rings ??

    myself and my wife picked the engagement ring together [ theres loads of places on and off grafton street (johnson court) and also O'Connors wholesalers out in harolds cross )

    I know of one or 2 women who didn't pick their engagement ring and they don't like them!

    get another ring for the proposal and then go ring shopping with the Fiance.

    health warning: financially this method might cost you more ( in the short term anyway :) )
