Is anyone else doing this?? My engagement ring is White Gold which I was told at time of buying looses it's colour so every so often you have to put it in to be dipped (rhodium plated) again. Don't know if anyone has done this and is it worth it?? When I put my engagement ring next to my wedding ring they look like two totally different colours even although my wedding ring is white gold it's just because my enagement ring has lost some of it's colour and I don't want to have a nice sparkly wedding ring and a dull engagement ring next to it. I have been quoted £25 which I think is quite reasonable and it should take 7/10 days so going to put my ring in about 4wks before the wedding can't believe i'm going to have to part with it tho. xxx

I think you should have it done for that price it sounds good value! I was thinking the same as you, my wedding ring is all sparkly and my engagment ring looks dull, so I think I will go for it as well nearer the time. Get yourself a cheap costume ring to replace it so your finger doesn't feel lost without it lol ;) It's just strange not wearing a ring on that finger isn't it? xxx

Jollsey I get mines done every six months it looks like new again when it comes back. My friend is a jewller so I dont need to pay which is a good thing. x

I'm going to get mine done about a month before the wedding.
Does anyone know whether that would get rid of a small scratch I caused when I fell over?

Dove I work in a bar and mines is all scratched with the money and getting it dipped does cover this xx
Cheers Ginge, Feel so guilty about the scratch- and Pidge looked slightly hurt when he saw it!

I am going to get mine dipped just before the wedding also! It definitely brings it up a treat! :o)

CommentAuthorginge23
I think maybe a week before if the jewller can do it in this time mines usually only takes day. Dove accidents happen Im sure he will be fine ss

i never really thort of that i use a jewelery cleaner every month or so (which i have at home) and that brings out the colour and sparkyness but i didnt know about gettin it replated x

CommentAuthorMrsHoward2B
Silly question - but if you get your engagement ring dipped - will that and the wedding ring then be exactly the same colour then or could they still differ slightly?
CommentAuthorDaffy
Oooo never though of this... was thinking the other day mine was looking a bit discoloured. x

I need to get mine done too! I have been trying wedding rings on and my engagement ring looks a totally different colour and dull. I have been quoted 10 pound for mine by an independant jeweller, so I would check around for prices ladies
CommentAuthorBecky
This sounds like a great idea! Does anyone know if you can do this with platinum (as this is what my engagement ring is) ?? xx
CommentAuthorMrs (Dove) Pidgeon
White gold gets its colour from rhodium plating- hence why it needs replating. Platinum shouldn't need replating- maybee it just needs cleaning?

Would a shop bought cleaner bring the sparkle back or do you think I should have it done at a jewellers? xx
CommentAuthorDrunchPunk
Yeah, platinum should be platinum the whole way through! The place I bought my engagement ring said I could take it back to have it cleaned though.
CommentAuthorDrunchPunk
Becky, I reckon that unless it's covered in scuffs and scratches, you should be able to do it yourself.
CommentAuthorcatch
that's afair price and your ring will look lovely and new, l'm getting mine done for free as we went back to same shop where we got engagement ring for wedding ring and they said they would do it for free, so who am l not to take up the offer xx
CommentAuthorlaura2481
I will be getting mine done before the weddeing as my engagement ring is vintage so is quite dull compared to brand new shiny ones (but I still love it!) :)
