Hi All,
I havent posted here in a long time but need some serious help with some issues!
My wife has been unable to wear her platinum engagement ring and wedding band for a year now (married almost 3 years). Her rings are Memoire's Purity collection e-ring and weddings bands which are 99.9% platinum and were purchased from Pearlman's.
Every time my wife wears her rings for a couple hours she starts to get a rash/tiny blisters around where the ring would be. As stated above this is something that she developed and wasn't there initially when rings were purchased.
Could she have developed an allergy to Platinum? If so, how could this be tested?
What can be done to the rings so that my wife can continue to wear them without having this issue?
We haven't gotten much options from Pearlman's other then to do a trade up which would set us back 2,500+ at a minimum which we aren't interested in. Or they have said we can try to do rhodium plating - but they aren't sure if this would do the trick and it is something that will need to be are applied after some time.
We want to explore all our options before making any commitment. Ideally we'd like to keep the rings my wife has as they are from our wedding and have sentimental value of course.
We've read a couple of things online about how developing this allergy isn't uncommon so I'd like to get people's feedback and input. Some have stated to dip the ring in vinegar or try using nail polish remover etc. We haven't done anything yet.
Any suggestions or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!!!
