Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Whilst sovereign rings and big initial rings in "rough cut" 9ct gold worn by anyone, let alone men, are so unattractive as to make me want to cry, a tasteful piece of jewellery on a man - and not too much of it - looks splendid. One area that's really exploded on the boys' rocks front is that of betrothal rings. Diana Porter makes some excellent ones (inscribed with such things as "on and on and on" or "the feeling of we" written across two rings - so it only makes sense when the two are joined) and of course they don't have to be worn by men; if you fancy giving your girlfriend something other than a diamond then these can make for a less "heavy" alternative.
