White Gold Diamond Wedding Set

O.K. here’s the deal. I’m not a picky, pitch a fit for a real diamond kinda girl. I wouldn’t mind a fake diamond or a colored gemstone even. But I do mind plated gold, because it always flakes off eventually and I plan on wearing this ring for a long long time. I want white gold, not silver or plated platinum over silver, but everywhere I find that has good quality white gold rings, only sells real diamonds. GRRRR. Any suggestions???
I guess if we were a more traditional couple, then yes he would be looking for the ring, but we aren’t so we are looking for our rings together.
It’s not that I’m ‘against’ diamonds necessarily. I think, honestly, that they’re clear and boring and way to freakin’ expensive for what they are. I know, I’m odd, lol

Keep looking. There have GOT to be places that sell rings to suit your needs.

Perhaps instead of looking for "engagement" rings, try searching for a type of ring called a "right hand ring." These will typically be quite exquisite, but will also be more to your needs.

I share your views; my engagement ring is a 1K black sapphire in white gold, channel set with diamonds….LOVELY.

I’m looking to replace my wedding set, and I really don’t know what to get. You ladies out there that are engaged or already married, what kind of ring(s) do you have? And what is your preference? Do you like white gold, yellow gold, or did you just have to have platinum? Do you like the newer or fancier cut stones? Or did you go for the classic round brilliant? Also, for you, when is a diamond too big or too small? What is the perfect carat size/weight? I have a one carat marquise with side stones, that goes with two matching eternity bands. One at the top, and one at the bottom. It’s in yellow gold.

Platinum or titanium are great, especially for durability. Although, I think for bridal jewelry it is always smart to get the metal that goes best with your skin tone. Princess cuts seem to be the most modern style, but I also love emerald cuts for their uniqueness and round cuts for their classic timelessness. While you’re updating, I think you should consider finding a diamond that has more facets than it’s traditional counterpart: i.e. a round brilliant. They do brilliant cuts for many different shapes. Personally, I like a very simple setting and believe that there’s no such thing as a too-big diamond (unless, of course, you are very young or very petite.)

I’ve been married 3 years and i have a yellow gold engagement ring and a yellow gold band. I always felt like I’d rather have white gold since I mainly wear silver jewelry but I never wanted to say anything to my hubby to make him feel bad for getting me a yellow gold engagement ring.
I asked my jewelry store if there was a way to coat my rings in white gold but they said no, but i could get the diamonds taken out and put them in to a white gold setting, so the ring would look exactly the same but be white gold. I told my hubby that I always loved this is yellow gold but have started feeling like I might want white gold instead and he said he is fine with it if I want to do that. Has anyone else done this? I’m torn because I’d like white gold but then again I’ve been wearing this one for 3 years so it has sentimental value to me.

I did it. I actually traded in my entire ring twice now. You should get what you want. It will still be sentimental to you

The ring is 14k white gold. The diamonds in the channel setting are cloudy, and I wanted to know if I could have a jeweler take those diamonds out and replace with other princess cut diamonds.
How difficult would it be to find princess cut diamonds small enough to fit into the channel setting?

This is the ring

yes they can do that just go to a good jeweler an ask them to do that it will cost you obviously but they can an id keep the diamonds in it the cloudy ones cause you can have them put in other jewelry other rings or necklaces anything
