Gorgeous! I am so excited to see your pictures!
Big ditto to this! My engagement ring is white gold, but I originally bought a platinum wedding band. After only 2 years of wear together, the platinum had scratches and dings that the white gold did not. I''ve since switched to a white gold wedding band.Date: 8/13/2008 10:16:56 PM

I have one ring that''s 18K white gold that''s 3 years old. I''ve not had to have it replated. The others are 14K and no replating there either.Date: 8/13/2008 7:41:56 PM

I know, right? It''s so pretty!!!! for the 18K gold wearers: Are we talking white gold? And if so, has anyone had to get theirs rhodium-plated again, or maybe I should ask, does it begin to turn more of a buttery, slightly warm-ish yellow-gold color over time?
Re the comment that platinum doesn''t show as much wear, in my case I would have to disagree. I have a platinum 5 stone that has a definite ''patina'' (nice word for fine scratches) that the gold rings do not yet have. Especially on the bottom of the ring. Not that it bothers me, but it shows much more wear than the gold rings.
How unfortunate, becuase THAT is one gogeous band. I would love to see a 2 carat dimaond set on that too! Very pretty!Date: 8/13/2008 6:16:38 PM

Hi upgradable,
I don''t know if I already told you this (sorry if I did)
I have this Bev. K. ring and it has not held up well. It has lost several diamonds and gone out of round 4 times (so far)
It is platinum and is also micropave. The one you chose has a solid band, so you may not have any problems. I chose platinum thinking it would be stronger and hold up better, but I have since learned that platinum actually shifts easier than WG (I don''t understand the properties of metal too much). I wish that I never bought this ring in the first place, and regret having chose platinum. Just my experience, but I thought I''d share.
