Hi everyone,
This is my first post although I've been lurking on and off for almost a year now, coveting all those lovely rings. I am interested in people's views on buffing or polishing platinum. I had my platinum e ring buffed just before my wedding last May and though it generally came up beautifully, I think one of the sides of the setting (the radiant cut diamond is set in two sold squares of platinum and open on the other two sides - don't know the name for such a setting) is very slightly thinner now and also has a small line running along it. Does polising wear down the metal? How often do people buff their rings?
Thanks
Ice Snoop
ps I'd post a photo of my lovely radiant but I have no idea how to take a photo of it - any tips welcome!
