Where can I get a ring dipped in white gold locally?

[Strawbs]

I have finally gotten my wedding ring back on post birthing baby number 2 but it needs a dip as it's been off my finger for so long. I normally get it done near my work but don't fancy the trek in on mat leave. Xxx

Hi Strawbs,

can't help I'm afraid but what is this dipping thing you're talking about? V intrigued!

The jewellers on Upland can do it or at least get it done for you. Vaughan Davies I think??

Slad - most white jewellery needs a dip back in to white gold every now and again as it's basically yellow gold dipped in white gold so it wears off over time. X

Brill Melbourne groover I will head down there tomorrow x

I think white gold is plated with rhodium now and has to be replated as it wears .

I have a white gold ring ,it's never been particularly shiny and I've never had it " dipped " .

Yes, I get my white gold rings replated from time to time - my jeweller (in NZ, so no use to you whatsoever!) uses rhodium.

I would try the jeweller on Upland Road, as mentioned by another poster. They are lovely, and if they can't do it there they will facilitate it being done in Hatton Garden.
