Hi there - I''m a newbie and need some help with my ring dilemma. Please excuse my ignorance if this is in the wrong spot.
I recently inherited my grandmother''s damamged platinum/diamond engagement ring. I have brought it to a local reputable jeweler who''s been wonderful and very helpful in finding a new setting.
Question is.....can I have the platinum melted down to include in the new ring? I have read that this is more hassle than it''s worth, but I''d really like to incorporate all of the elements from my grandma''s ring. Is this a pipedream?? Should I just pony up the money and get a new platnium ring? What about white gold?
Ideally, I''d like platinum because I forsee myself wearing the ring on a daily basis and it sounds like white gold requires a lot of upkeep. Thoughts?
I know I''m all over the place with this post, but all thoughts/expertise will be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks!!!!
