My mom gave me her wedding band and I really want to use it, but I have a white gold engagement ring and it is yellow gold. I went to the jewelers today and asked if the ring could be melted down and made into new white gold ring. He said no because of yellow alloys or some chemical reason. He said I could have it rhodium plated, but the plating would not last and would have to be redone every six months or so because I planned on wearing it everyday. I REALLY want to have my mother's ring incorporated someway even if it is not actually visible. Does anyone know of a jeweler that could make a ring that would encase or cover my mother's ring which would be underneath and have the new white gold or platinum finish on top? I don't know if this is possible.
