Rhodium-dipped white gold

I searched to see if this has been mentioned in a previous topic, but no luck, so I'm going to create one of my own As some of you may remember, I had quite a fuss with my pink topaz e-ring a while ago when I thought it had faded, only to find out that it needed to be re-plated with rhodium to make it all sparkly again (and it looked fabulous when I got it back, I must say ) Anyway, it's been a few months, and it's starting to look dull again. I have a lifetime warranty on the ring with the jewellery store where I bought it and I can get it re-sized and re-plated whenever I see fit. I'm just wondering, how often should I get my ring re-dipped? Is there such a thing as getting it done too often? I was thinking once a year, but it hasn't even been six months and it's beginning to dull again, so maybe once every six months? I have no idea

i also have a white gold setting that needs to get dipped. my jeweler does it for free 3 times per year, he said any more than that is not good or even really necessary for the ring.

I understood that White Gold was polished yellow gold?!?!?

Maybe Im missing something here.

Our jeweler told us once a year is good.

Three times a year sounds about right... So every four months, which is about how long it takes for the plating to wear off the one I have now Awesome! I thought I was just being crazy by wanting to do it more than once a year, I didn't want to take complete advantage of the free platings (even though they are free )

We were told to get it done every 6 months.

I've had my engagement ring 4 years and its never needed to be done - i got it in cancun lol

But when I put my wedding ring next to it it has faded so i'll get it done before I go but i agree it depends on how thick they do it as to how long it lasts

Great topic, I jsut had mine done for the first time last week so it looks great for the wedding. Thanks for starting this thread now I have more info on it!
