Here is my "new" old ring. I got brave and decided to have it rhodium plated (dipped to make it silver). My ring was yellow gold and I've wanted silver for a long time b/c all the other jewelry I wear is silver. Recently, one of my prongs got bent and slipped off from where it used to be on the diamond and would catch on things. I needed to get it fixed b/c I didn't want to lose the diamond. So I ended up getting a new prong head and then took a risk and had it dipped (the risk is that it wears off and doesn't last very long so I may have to get it dipped often). I love it though! I just picked it up tonight and Kyle told me it can be for my anniversary gift- that's an easy way for him to get out of buying me a gift. ha! But hey, I'm more than fine with this gift. Our 9th anniversary is next Monday. Time flies bye. Now I'm treating it like a brand new ring and I'm nervous to hit it on anything. :) It's so clean and shiny.
I had to take the flash off b/c it was too shiny to see, but these pictures are blurry too. Oh well, you get the idea. :)

Looks like a brand new ring! Love the look. Now should I have mine done? For some reason I wear way more silver/white gold jewelry too. That Kyle..... anything to get out of buying a gift on his own! Not that he can't do it but we all know Kyle. All I can say is I tried......... I think Grandpa A. tried harder! Ha
It does look like a new ring! I love it!! Kyle's off easy this year but next year for #10, he better make it big. :)
That's beautiful!
Beautiful! Hope you guys are doing o.k. We pray for you every night!
Looks beautiful, Heidi. And congrats, in advance, on #9 - that is awesome!!
It looks great. What a good idea. I might have to do that myself.
I'm looking at my "crusted in kid" ring and really wishing for a polish job on it. I love getting it back from the jewler and all the scratches are buffed out of it. You've inspired me to clean mine now:) It's beautiful!
It looks gorgeous. I would love mine to be silver but I'm not sure about the wearing off part. Definetly watch your prongs. I lost my diamond about 25 years ago because of prongs that had worn down ( had been in the house, gone to a friends). After looking for 8 long hours finally found it in my bedroom in the carpet (blessing). I have my ring checked about every 2 years now. I have a wonderful cleaner that shines it up.... but it is still gold.
Its so fun to feel like you have a new ring! ITs very pretty. Congrats on 9 years!
I didn't know you could do that! My ring is yellow gold too. I wish I would have got white gold, but at the time I thought yellow gold was classic and would never go out of style. Here I am 9 years later and still wishing I had white gold.
Love it! Happy Anniversary! Can you believe how time has flown by?
I've only had mine dipped once in 6 years. I am pretty careful (I don't sleep or shower with it on), but I've never noticed it looking faded (although it's definitely not always that shiny! :) Yours looks great!
Oh my gosh I love love love it! seriously it is beautiful! I love it! ok i think i have said i love it enough times!
