Tradition says a man should spend a whole month's salary on an engagement ring, but M&S have got different ideas.
The bargain bands are made of tin, but are plated in platinum and diamanté encrusted, while the huge sparkler is a fake diamond.
Instead of a hallmark, the ring bears the M&S logo and the bands will come in four sizes.
M&S spokewoman Rekha Kannan said: 'These rings are for the bridegroom who wants the look of real diamonds but can't necessarily afford them.
'They are perfect for credit crunch weddings - they look really beautiful but you don't have to break the bank for them. You wouldn't know they're not real diamonds.'
