My engagement ring is expected to arrive within the next 2 weeks. It is from Henri Daussi and the setting is 18k white gold. I REALLY wanted a platinum setting because I did not want to deal with yellowing and replating. However, I was given a budget and I chose a better diamond instead of a platinum setting. I figured that one day I will just reset my diamond into a platinum setting, but the more I think about it, I don't want to do that. There is something special to me about keeping the original setting.
So my question is: does anyone have knowledge or experience with platinum plating a white gold ring? My ring is already rhodium plated, but I know this will wear off over time. Can you platinum plate something that is already rhodium plated? What is a good thickness and what is the cost? Do you rhodium plate on top of the platinum plate?
How difficult would it be to do this? My ring has a halo of diamonds around the center, diamonds around the halo, and diamonds on all 3 sides of the band until 4 and 8 o'clock.
I have a few fashion rings that I wear a lot and have had for years that are platinum plated and they look brand new, shiny, no yellowing at all. I thought perhaps the same could be done to my e-ring.
