Hi Everyone,

So, I'm not sure if you all remember me...I got engaged on December 22nd! A beautiful white gold ring with a gorgeous diamond....I was in LOVE! After wearing my ring for a short period of time, I realized sadly that I was very allergic to the nickel used to make white gold. Soooo, I went to see my jeweler and he made me a new band with palladium mixed into the gold. He reassured me that it's hypo-allergenic, and that I would be fine with it.

I asked if we could melt the original band to make my fiance's wedding band, but he sadly told me that white gold can only really be melted one time....The second time it gets bubbly or something...I don't know he got all technical on me. When I told my fiance, he was kid of disappointed....but we decided we'd hang onto it, and if we ever have a baby girl we'd give her the ring with her birth stone in a different setting for her 16th birthday!

I just got my palladium ring today, and I'm SOOO happy to be wearing it again!!

Thank you everyone for your positive feed back when I initally wrote the post..."Allergic to my ring :("

I remember you! Glad you got your ring. I wanted palladium, but unfortunately the ring we loved was only available in white gold.

I can imagine how disappointed you must have been to not wear your ring. Just this evening I took my rings to the jeweler to have them resized and soldered. I feel naked without them.

Thanks everyone! The white gold ring was really tight on me too...it was a 6.5, and when we arranged to get the palladium ring my jeweler asked me if I wanted him to make it a 6.75...I said ok....but for some reason he didn't think this would be a good idea after all, so he made it a 6.5. It fits perfectly!!! My allergy to the nickel must of been so sever it inflamed my whole finger! I'm just so so happy :) You all rock, thanks again for the advice!

Glad to hear everything worked out. I talked to a jeweller about having my mothers ring melted down and remade for me, but I also got the same story. Apparently it has to go through a re-purification process and you lose a lot of gold int he process and there's a chance it could turn out bubly and crack in the future - no good.
