I have a ring that I'd like re-modelled into something more modern as it's just lying in a drawer. I've made an appointment with a local jeweller to discuss styles etc but I just told him I'd an old gold diamond ring & didn't mention it was white gold. Girl at work (opinionated know-it-all) said you need to go to a specialised place as they can't just melt down white gold because of the rhodium plating. I'd never even considered this. I want the band a completely different style so it would need melting down. Is she talking codswallop or am I going to look like a numpty?
