What is the difference between a wedding ring and an engagement ring?
Q. I am engaged and I have an engagement ring. I do not like the way it looks with a band against it. Do I just use it as my wedding ring or do I get a new ring. All of the rings I like are labeled engagement and not wedding. What is the difference? Does it matter? Am I supposed to get a ring with a band because I do not like hardly any of those. Please do not just tell me to do whatever I want. I want to know the difference. Thank you.

A. The engagement ring is what you give your gal when you propose to her. The wedding ring is what you and she exchange usually at the wedding ceremony. This is traditionally why a man buys 2 ring. His girlfriend or fiance will by him the man s wedding band. Good Luck!

I have a platinum engagement ring and was wondering if a white gold wedding ring would be all right?
Q. It's just the price of platinum is outrageous. I won't be having them put together permanently, just will wear the wedding ring to work and then wear them together other times. Do you think anyone will be able to tell?

A. Yes, it is perfectly alright to mix platinum and white gold rings, noone will ever tell the differance - here is why: Both platinum and white gold are plated with a metal called rhodium. White gold jewelry is nearly always plated with rhodium because the metal gold is really yellow in color and when they melt it and alloy it (that is mix other metals into it) to 'whiten' gold it still has a faintly yellowish tint. Rhodium gives white gold that color that is pure silvery white like chrome. Platinum, which is already white, needs to be plated with rhodium because platinum has a dull luster and not give us that shiny mirror polish like silver or gold. So whether a ring is white gold or platinum - you are really looking at RHODIUM (which, by… [cont.]
