What state is your engagement ring in

gabyjane

What i mean is i wear mine all the time apart from bed time. I now take it off at work in the mornings as i clean and noticed it was dulling underneath, i know no one else can see it but i can!! is this normal? it is white gold and from a lovely jewellers who hand makes them. It has scratched very slightly aswell as i caught it against our garage wall when we moved in!and wonder what on earth it will be like when we marry in 7 months!! I love it though!!

I think white gold does commonly need to be redipped periodically - ask at your local jeweller see how much it will cost. hth

Yeah I got told this when I was looking for my engagement ring. I didnt like the idea of getting it redipped all the time so I opted for Platinum.

Getting it redipped doesnt cost a lot though so I would just enquire Maybe the place you got it from offers a discount?

Yes white gold will change colour... Mine was pretty filthy too so have had it cleaned ready for the wedding Mine is 18 carat so softer than the 9 carat not sure if it looses colour slower but in 16 months I haven't noticed it loosing colour... yes it's dulled a little but I think most rings will...

I've had my engagement ring cleaned and replated a few times for free by the lovely goldsmith who made it to our design.

I would suggest going back there (if it's still nearby!) and asking about this. Otherwise many places do this for a very low cost.

I wear mine all the time, and the difference when it's cleaned it staggering! It's like the first moment you ever try it on!

I got mine redone just before the wedding. Its 18ct white gold and has lots of scratches and dents in it. Ive been married 10 months now and already its in a bit of a state so I will prob get it redone every year or so, depending on how much money I have as my wedding ring could do with it too and its about £30 each.

I got my engagement ring dipped after about a year or so, i think I will get it redone before the wedding, it cost around £11 from H Samuels.

Hi there - mine is OK but I clean it with some gel that the jewellers gave me. Keeps it sparkling! I keep telling the OH he needs to buy me a new one to make up for it.....!!

Mine's 18ct yellow gold and 18 months old - wedding is in October! It's still in pretty good nick, I clean the diamond with a soft toothbrush every so often - and take it off if I'm doing anything really mucky!

I only got mine christmas eve and it's looking well worn already lol.

Will probably get it redipped a couple of weeks before the wedding so it looks all shiney next to my new wedding ring...

white gold is unfortunately notorious for having to be redipped once the rhodium plating wears off
