I have a white gold engagement ring and my wedding ring is the same. Obviously I have now been wearing the engagement ring for some time and it is not as shiny as it once was. It is not obvious on its own, but will be when I have the brand new wedding ring next to it.
They recommend you get the rhodium plating on white gold renewed once a year, and I do feel I ought to do it before the wedding to keep the ring shiny and for the wear levels to match the wedding ring.
But I'm not sure I can bring myself to part with my e-ring long enough for it to be done, and I'm so worried they'd lose it or something.
Has anyone done it or decided not to do it? Thoughts?
