    Do you have a profession ? would you take very kindly to someone telling you your job ?

    Yes. Maybe.

    The OP said nothing about caveats being given in the jeweller's recommendation, just an unqualified recommendation that these rings should be replated 1-2 times a year.. If we'd been told that the question or recommendation was qualified as you suggest then I wouldn't have made the same comment I did.
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.

    i have my white gold wedding ring and eternity ring over 5 years now and neither have been (nor needed) replated

    i havent wore them much in the last 6 months now as i have lost so much weight they just fall off

    the wedding ring in engraved the whole way around the inside so i dont want to get anything taken off it

    any ideas? i was thinking a nice necklace for them, and just a cheapo ring for my wedding finger?
