My ring is turning gold already!!


Recommended Posts

I've been married almost 3 years and have never had my wedding bands dipped (white gold).  My ering is only almost a year old b/c my original was lost on vacation last year, but it was 3+ years old at the time it was lost and it had never been dipped either.

So weird that it'd turn after 3 months. White gold has to be rhodiumized every so often if you want that pure white shiny look. I worked at a high end jewelry store on 5th avenue and we never dipped platinum. Platinum can be buffed/polished. The point of spening more for the platinum is so you wouldn't spend more for the redipping you have to do over the years. Also the jeweler told me that your e-ring and wedding band should be the same metal. If you have two different metals so close to each other they are bond to turn ( aka yellow faster). Make sure you go to a reputable jeweler to have your ring rerhodiumize. Hopefully that helps :)

I've been wearing mine for other two years (White and Rose Gold) and they are keeping their true colours.

I have had numerous rings throughout my years, all of which are white gold, and have never had a problem with any of them turning color.  Most of them still look the same as they did when I got them, and I have never had to redip any of them.

It all depends on the gold, they can have lighter and darker tinges to them.  My ering turned very quickly and I was told it was my body composition as well.  I just had it redipped but it could probably be dipped every 6 months or so.  We are thinking of changing it to a pave setting as opposed to a plain band just because it annoys me so much seeing it change a little!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
