My ering is 18K WG, so I feel like I could have it replated every couple of months or so if I had the time (or if I wasn't so lazy)!
The thing is, I'm kind of hesitant to have it done too often, since some of the gold is polished off each time. I didn't really think anything of it until the last time I had it done. The band is a modifed knife edge, but the last time it was polisted and plated, I noticed that it is more "rounded" than anything. My ering is quite thick (about 3 - 3.5 mm), I rather like that it's more rounded, and it's only on the bottom half, but it still made me take pause...
So, my question is: "How much is too much??" when it comes to this? I know it depends on the thickness of the band, but I don't want to damage my ering or let it get to where it's too thin. Ugh! I wish I'd gotten a WG alloy that didn't require plating, but you know what they say about hindsight...
