Hello! I''m considering getting my ring setting redone in platinum. I know I posted before that I loved the white gold, and I do, but I had only had it for about 2 months... Now, after 6 months of wear, my ring is turning yellowish (the setting wasn''t purchased from WF, the diamond was though). It''s not an ugly color or anything, but definitely noticeable. A jeweler told me my skin is acidic?? I take good care of the ring, wear it all the time but take it off to shower/cook/clean, but I''m also pretty rough on my jewelry at times, being a musician/teacher. I never put it near any chemicals, and I clean it just with water and a soft toothbrush, and occaisionally with an ultrasonic cleaner. Lately I''ve been checking out my friends'' white gold rings, and they all have the same yellowish hue, I never noticed it before, but they definitely do. I like the idea and feel of platinum, Whiteflash quoted me a great price, and I was very happy with the work they did before on my ring and pendant, and of course I''m still in love with my diamond.
My question is with any of you that own platinum rings from Whiteflash (more than 6 months or so), has your ring turned grey/developed a patina? I''ve seen only a few platinum rings in person, one was bright and shiny, but the other was really dark grey, and I didn''t like the color of that one at all. If you all could please post a picture of a platinum ring that''s been worn for several months/years I would appreciate it, so I can see how they wear. Or, if you have any pictures of a platinum ring with a patina, I''d love to see it. I may like it, but I''m afraid I won''t and then it will be too late...
I know variations of this question have been asked before, but I can''t seem to find exactly the answers I''m looking for.
Thanks!!!!!
