Hi all
DP and I currently choosing wedding rings. We are both after something simple and understated and neither of us are keen on yellow gold so we went to the jewellers yesterday to have a look and both liked simple white gold bands. The jeweller gave us a quote for a 3mm ring for DP and a 2mm for me in 9 carat gold for around $1400 AUD (716 GBP) for both.
My question is firstly - does that sound reasonable?? Tbh it seemed quite a lot to us but then we don't buy jewellery often so not sure! She offered us 18 carat instead but I'm not sure what the benefit of that would be if 9 carat is more hard wearing?
I've been doing a bit of googling since and have seen a couple of things saying that white gold needs to be regularly re-plated, anyone know if this is the case?
Secondly, does anyone recommend anything different for rings?
many thanks :)
