For those that have got their ring re-dipped or cleaned - HELP!

I got mine cleaned / replated.

Made it look brand new again with that mirror finish look, just how i like it

I got it done in h samuels and cost £30. took just under 2 weeks

i have no advice with the diamond maybe just needs a clean x

Sounds like it needs re-plating. I have both rings replated and cleaned once every five years. If a diamond is loose, this may be the reason for the cloudiness but the jeweller will be able tell you this straightaway, I have mine done at Goldsmiths and last time (about 4 years ago) it cost £30 for both. I claimed through my insurance for a diamond that was missing out of my engagement ring - I banged it on the door handle and didn't notice until much later - that was £90 to replace. It's not a huge one either! My ER is a topaz surrounded by small diamonds - a bit like Diana's/Kate's ring in style but not in value if that gives you an idea.

Any high street chain of jewellers should do it for you as I had mine done at Fraser Hart and took about a week.

The diamonds in my ring sometimes look like they have gone a bit dull but after a good clean with a gold cleaning solution and a little scrubbing brush to get under the diamonds (can use an old toothbrush to scrub it too) it comes up looking sparkling again, so it is probably just a build up of dirt under the diamond. X

Thanks. I have had it less than 2 years, and has been like this for awhile. To be honest not that happy with the jewellers even though at first we thought they were fab.

They are an independent, make all the rings, no two the same.

2 of the small diamonds fell out about 2 months after getting it, so we took it back to have them replaced. I now wonder if the one that has gone cloudy is a replacement one, and they replaced it with not as good a quality diamond as the others in the ring.

Hmmmmn hopefully the clean will get it sparkly and clean, but seems a bit quick to need being redipped, it needed it about a year ago if am honest xx

I have had my ER redipped once a year ater it was bought, and will have it done again within 2 years (so its all new and shiny looking for the wedding)

TBH It only just really needed doing on the back the first time, but it was free within a year of purchase so did it anyway. This time it doesn't reallyneed it either, just getting it done now for the wedding.

It seems that the finish has lasted better after the first redip - but that could be that I have been less hardwearing on it recently, spent alot of time doing alot of manual work renovating our house just fater we got engaged!

Its not an expensive thing to get done, so if you don't like how it looks, just get it done! it is a down side of white gold.

My ring is needed replating and its not a year old yet. When we bought it we were told that it would need doing every year to keep it looking white, and it would be about £30 that was at F Hinds.

I'm planning on taking mine in soon to be done, as I wear it all the time for everything so am not suprised it has discoloured at the back, especially as I have a messy job!
