Have i left it too late

chids, 16 July, 2008 at 13:04 Posted on Planning 0 7

I'm thinking of getting my white gold engagement ring re-dipped or what ever it's called, i get married in 3 weeks have i left it to late? And roughly how much should i expect to pay and where would you recommend.

My engagement ring came from a pawn shop so it's not as if i could take it back to get it done.

    Have you tried asking in a local jewellers, they'd probably be able to advise you?

    I dropped mine in last Wednesday and am due to get it back with my wedding ring the Wednesday before the wedding (same day as you!)- but that's probably only taking so long because I'm having my wedding ring designed to fit my E-ring. I am paying about £30 for it to be re-plated.

    I got my ring from Lewis Grant and I get a free yearly recoating service and polish and get the ring back within 4 hours if I drop it off before 12noon. Might be worth going in there if you are stuck for time. They charge £25.

    I don't think there's one of these near me, that's really good service though. I wish i'd have let my mum take it to turkey with them last month, i could have had it done and ready the next day and it would have cost about a fiver but i never thought and it's too late now.

    H Samuel's do a weekly service and its pretty reasonably priced (can't remember how much but a lot cheaper than most). My ring was from an independent jewellers and I paid over £30 before my wedding to have it replated and they did it really badly, it literally had bits missing and seemed to come back with more scratches than when I left it! Then took it to H Samuel's and it came back like new and cost a lot less that £30.
