I went to look at wedding bands this afternoon. I've had trouble finding a band that goes well with my ring so I tried a local jewelry store and asked about custom designing a ring to go with my e-ring. The designer was not at the store so they took some pictures and said that they'd get back to me soon. Before I left, they offered to clean my ring for me (which was really good because it was getting a little dirty). Anyways, when she gave it back to me she said that it looked as though my ring could use another Rodium treatment. I was shocked by this suggestion because my ring is platinum, not white gold, which doesn't need Rodium. I'm sure it was just a mistake by the young girl that worked there, but it makes me feel like they are trying to make money on services even if they're not necessary.
I guess what I'm saying is: Look out for yourselves ladies. You know when (or if) your ring needs to be re-plated. Don't be duped into services you don't need.
