This is a continuation of my last thread on WG vs Plat. My sister called up and asked why couldn''t they have silver wedding bands, what would be the downside? The only thing I could really come up with that Silver tarnishes, only it doesn''t if you wear it all the time. So given the dreadful spike in gold and platinum prices, what is wrong with having silver wedding rings, and maybe even silver engagement rings? Other than a prejudice against it not being precious enough? The recent increase in prices has just shrunk my ring budget enough that I''m thinking about 14k wg instead of 18 or Plat. I don''t know about you, but we''re not saving fast enough to keep up with the price increases. Instead of being able to get a bigger diamond than we could have a couple of months ago we''re now maybe going to have to go down instead! And Silver is starting to sound awfully intriguing.
