My not-yet-fiancee, DA (he insists it's not official until the ring is on my finger), have been searching for months for a ring that I would like within his budget. We finally found an estate ring below his budget that was exactly my size with the diamond quality and setting I desired. I saw that it was hollow, but at the time, I didn't think this would be a big deal. I thought they did it to make the ring lighter/save on cost/also light up the diamonds. I knew it would just be a little more troublesome to clean and maybe not as comfortable. Now after reading these posts: [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/question-about-ring-setting-hollow-vs-solid.104463/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/question-about-ring-setting-hollow-vs-solid.104463/[/URL] , [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/noob-question-on-why-some-engagement-rings-are-hollow.167895/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/noob-question-on-why-some-engagement-rings-are-hollow.167895/[/URL] , I am a bit worried! I don't like the idea of water getting trapped in the ring.
How hard will it be to fill the ring with something like 10k gold (does the metal quality make a difference?) or to put a platinum sleeve on it? Which is best? Filling it, or putting a sleeve? How much does something like that cost? What are the advantages of one over the other?
Please help!
