Q. What if I want to change the yellow gold in my wedding ring to white gold or even platinum?
My ring is a solitare with a wrap band that has a uniquely beautiful setting. Will you exchange the yellow gold for the white gold or platinum and approx how much would it cost?? I don't want to just dip the outside of the band as I know it will rub off sooner or later. - Suffolk

A. If you want white metal, you would be best served by platinum, as white gold tends to “yellow” over time. You will not recover much from your old ring other than scrap; you might want to keep the original for one of your children or grand children and set a birth stone in place of the diamond. The wrap could be replaced as well or kept for a two-tone look. The price will vary with the size of the diamond and the wrap and of course there will be some labor for resetting your diamond.
