Unfortunately, this will not be a permant color change as the rhodium wears off with time. My sister-in-law had this done to a yellow ring (she is in the process of changing over to white metal jewelry), and it lasted about 6 months before it was noticeably yellowing again. She'll either have to continue to replate (around $30 per plating since she did not buy the ring from that jeweler) or have a new setting made.

I don't wear those pieces all that often so maybe thats why they still look great! ____________________________ Piece of cake and a candle. ng gift

Hopefully she will reply to this or i will think of who it is! She hasnt been too thrilled with the results. Yeah, I forget who it was too, but it was recent. She had it dipped and said that chunks of the plating where coming off slowly, leaving a spotted ring. I think she posted pictures of it in one of the forums (I think this particular one, but I can't seem to find it). I can just remember that she wasn't very happy at all and had wished that she had never done it. ________________________________ Michelle AKA Stretch4 I intend to live forever... so far, so good.

lop Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,651 Last Post: 9/7/2009 Member Since: 6/14/2003	I have dipped a necklace omega chain and earrings. They are fine. They still have a slight tinge of yellow, but it's not something someone else would notice. They are lasting fine because they don't get knocked around. I don't think I would ever dip a ring because it would start wearing off.

Kaleigh Ideal Rock Total Posts: 25,889 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 11/18/2004	Is this your engagement ring? Dipping it will not last very long on a ring you wear everyday, assuming you wear your engagement ring every day. If it's a ring you wear every so often, then go for it. ____________________________ Piece of cake and a candle. ng gift

Libster Ideal Rock Total Posts: 998 Last Post: 9/18/2009 Member Since: 10/21/2004	I laughed as I read the subject and even more as I read the responses!!! Yes I did it, and yes I have problems with my skin reacting to the metal and wearing the plating away! I'm sure it's different for each person, but in my case I wish I hadn't messed around with my yellow gold and left well enough alone. Dipping white gold is no problem because even after some of the rhodium plating wears it's still white gold, not bright gold peaking though.
