Wedding ring?
Q. Hi folks, I'm starting to look for a ring for my girlfriend. I was wondering, how engagement/wedding rings work? Do people still buy the engagement ring (the one with the rock) and add another smaller ring at wedding or is it now the same ring that is exchanged at both occasion?
Asked by Boomer - Thu Dec 7 09:17:31 2006 - - 25 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Yes it still works the same. Except now the engagement rings available don't just have one diamond. They still have the single diamonds available but now they have rings that are covered in diamonds. Make sure you keep in mind what color gold she wears in her jewelry now. Does she wear white gold, regular yellow gold, or does she wear platinum? That is important but other than that you choose whatever style that she will like the best and that your wallet allows you to purchase. Good luck!!!

Why is my wedding ring turning my finger colors all the sudden?
Q. My wedding ring is turning my finger greenish black. It looks like tarnish, except that my ring is solid gold and I have worn it for 14 years. What is causing this? I have not been using any cleaners or different soap so I dont think it is from chemicals.

A. That's happened to me too...but usually just goes away...must be a chemical reaction with some body hormone at a particular time...my jewelry is gold but it happens for what appears to be no reason...then doesn't occur again for months...weird...

what is the difference between an engagement ring and wedding ring?
Q. as in appearance? because i found an engagement ring i like but my friend says its a wedding ring. i cant tell by the website though. its a three stone ring. is it a wedding ring or engagement ring? or can it be both?

A. an engagement ring is, traditionally, the ting your FH picks out to give to you when he proposes to you. the wedding ring is the ring that you use when you actually get married. engagement rings are usually fancier, a lot of times with a stone or stones on them. wedding rings have traditionally been plain or minimally embellished bands. women usually wear both rings on their finger. you can't really fir two flashy rings on one finger, can you?

Can 18carat gold engagement ring and wedding ring setting be changed to white gold or platinum?
Q. My wife wants to keep the rings that she got when we were engaged/married, but we would like to update them to white gold or platinum. Does anyone know if they can be dipped in a different gold and if so will it last. Also, any ideas what type of cost we would be looking at? Standard diamond ring with 4 small diamonds on each side and the wedding band has about 8 small diamonds in it as well. Thanks!

A. Yes, yellow gold can certainly be dipped in rhodium, is it recommended? Some say no. It really will depend on the setting, normally stones aren't removed. However, will it last, no, not permanently. The rhodium will wear, and you will need to redip. It takes years to wear down. Cost of a rhodium dip, 20-100 dollars. To buy a platinum setting and have it reset, could be 1000, if it were a solitaire only, then easily half that. Take to a jeweler and ask an opinion, be sure its a jeweler, not just a jewelery store. Look for advertisements in the phone book of a jeweler on site, these places will advertise same day work. A white gold setting would cost 500-700.

How much did your wedding/engagement ring cost? What about your spouse's?
Q. I'm planning on getting married in a year and I'm not quite sure how much you are suppose to spend on rings. My sister, getting married next month, spent $900 on her future husbands ring and he got her a $2000 engagement ring and a $800 wedding ring. So i was wondering how much were your rings?
Asked by Halliey G - Fri Apr 17 10:19:48 2009 - - 33 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Don't spend any more than you can afford: that's the best guideline, not what other people spent, not some percentage of your income. My engagement ring was a family heirloom that my husband's mother left him when she died a few years ago. Due to the style of the ring, I chose not to get a separate wedding band, so I wear just the one ring, which cost nothing. My husband chooses not to wear a wedding ring, so I didn't buy him one, so the cost again is nothing. It's not the price of the rings that matters, it's the love in the couple that counts.

What could be causing a skin irritation under a wedding ring on that particular finger?
Q. My wife has been experiencing an irritation on her ring finger under her wedding ring and band. A particular ointment has helped it lately but then it comes back. NOTE...she had the engagement ring since December 07 and no problems but it wasn't until 3 weeks before the wedding on Sept. 20 that the irritation started under the ring.

A. My sister and my husband had the same problem. Some people eventually develop an allergy to metals over the course of several months (like my husband) or they can get them within minutes (like my sister). For my husband, I got rid of the cheap 10k gold and got him a cheap titanium ring and its was perfect. My sister wears surgical steel jewelry usually, or platinum. Good luck. Its not a satanic curse or anything.. :)

A. Get it appraised by a certified appraiser. He will tell you the metal (gold, platinum etc and the karat) and the stones (diamonds, rubies etc and the cut, color, carat weight and clarity) and then he will give you a written appraisal. Yes, you must pay for this. Takes about 30 minutes

How does one make a titanium wedding ring fit?
Q. My fiance recently received his titanium wedding ring in the mail. Unfortunately, he's between sizes. The size 9 fit comfortably over his large knuckles, but is too loose on the base of his finger. The 8 and 1/2 wouldn't fit over his knuckles at all. Since it's titanium, we thought it would be safe to get the 9 in order to account for future weight fluctuations, but it's way too loose right now. What type of ring grips/guards are out there and which ones are the most effective/affordable?
Asked by Lizzy-Beth - Mon Apr 6 16:55:58 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Get a ring guard to put on--you can usually find them at the jewelers for really cheap. Otherwise, the ring should fit comfortably over his large knuckle and be a little loose at the base--this means that it's not too tight. If the only problem really is that it spins, then just go to the store and get a guard.

As far as prices go, the general rule is 2 months salary. Now there is no set thing as to whether it's net or gross income.

Why and where does the choice of hand for the wedding ring differ?

Asked by nursie - Fri May 2 13:57:54 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

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.]

A. no it's not true - it is recommended in any situation where clean hands are essential - ie - food prep, patient care...but, if they do choose to do so, they can,but they have to take extra care when washing their hands to make sure they are gatting under the ring clean too - not really an issue if it is a plain, smooth band, but if there are stones or engravings, it is more difficult to do. but think about this - it can be very dangerous to wear jewelry on your hands in some jobs - it could get caught in machinery.

Is it wrong to reset an inherited wedding ring?
Q. I recently inherited my grandmother's wedding ring, and I love it. The only thing is its in yellow gold, and I only ever wear white gold or silver. I love that its something of my grandma's I'd get to keep forever, so I was thinking of having a white gold band made, in the same style, and have the stones reset in it. Is that detracting from the memory of the ring was/is? I want to her memory, but still have it be me as well.
Asked by Nischla - Tue Oct 13 17:48:37 2009 - - 9 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Before you do anything, if I were you I'd get your grandma's ring valued as it is. If the setting in combination with the specific stone make it uniquely valuable, you may not want to do anything that could damage it. That said, how people handle such mementos of family members is an entirely personal thing. One of my friends took some heirloom jade cabochons she had inherited in an old piece of jewelry and had them re-set in rings special designed for her and her husband. The rings were awesome and knowing the source of the jade was a relative who had brought them over from China when she came to the US was special.
