This may seem like a really dumb question, but I searched and couldn''t find an answer.
My aunt has an 18kt yellow gold eternity band with round channel set diamonds in it. The gold surrounding the channels is pretty thin, so it''s not a very thick band we are talking about. She wears it all the time b/c it is pretty snug on her finger and is afraid she is going to damage either the gold or the channel itself by tugging on it to remove it.
Can she actually bend the gold or damage the channel set stones trying to remove it and put it back on? She said she really needs to tug it to get it off, and if she does need to, she runs her finger under cold water and it comes off a little easier that way. This ring is fairly new -- just got it last year for an anniversary so it is sentimental, and she would obviously hate to "break" it.
Thanks for any advice.
