Because of the restriction on gold supplies, jewellers in Bri- tain are preparing to make 9- carat wedding rings instead of the traditional 22-carat ring.

And so the advice of most London Jewellers is

"If you are planning to get married. buy your wedding ring now."

The manager of one London shop said to a reporter: "We haven't had to disappoint anyone so far, though I'm afraid we haven't been able to supply the particular design they wanted in every case. Restrictions supply mean that in this branch, where we usually sell something like four thousand wedding rings ina year, we shall have only a thousand for sale.".
