Changing wedding rings from platinum to gold?

[Anonymous]

I’d buy a new ring and switch them up depending on what you wear.

My personal thought is a wedding set is supposed to be the one constant thing that stays the same as fashion trends come and go. However..if you have the money...go for it.

How many women had a clueless boyfriend pick out their ring when they were young and pay no attention to metal preferences? How many women don’t develop personal style until their 30s?

True, but the OP clearly is sentimental about her engagement ring hence wanting to replace stones. I think many feel if you are sentimental about the ring, then switching it out for a new one is weird because it takes away the history. If you’re not sentimental about the ring, just get a new one in the metal you prefer and wear that one. I mean, what are you going to do with the empty platinum setting? And I agree with other posters - in 5 years I think the trend will either be back to silver or intentionally mixed metal. Gold is over.

Most women in DC do and I would argue that switching from trendy metal to trendy metal isn't developing personal style lol.

I did exactly the opposite - switched my original rings from gold to platinum. Looks much better on me and platinum is always a classic wedding ring material.

I did this a few years ago. Originally had a platinum ring. My skin looks so much better with yellow gold and all my other jewelry is yellow gold, but when I got married in 2002 you had to have platinum. Switching to a gold setting was a good choice for me. I went from a very Art Deco platinum setting to a simpley set low profile yellow gold solitaire. Somehow it seems more modern and is just more "me". I'm pleased I made the switch.

What sort of skin do you guys have that you look better with yellow gold? I have yellow gold and feel like silver looks better, but white gold is full of nickel which I can’t wear. And platinum is extremely pricey.

Maybe I should just wear actual silver. Are you guys doing that? It reminds me of being a teen when we couldn’t afford anything but silver.

My engagement and wedding rings are platinum because that is what everyone got when I got married (early 2000s). Most of my other jewelry is gold. I would not change my engagement and wedding rings. I have a sentimental attachment to them and would not feel the same about a new setting.

I thought most people looked better in yellow gold. Personally I have a golden olive complexion that tans very dark in the summer even with sunscreen. I look terrible in white metals. French/german ancestry

I think most do.

I look much better in white metal. Wish I didn't -- I keep wanting to wear yellow gold and then I buy something, and it's a nope -- doesn't look good.

DP. I look horribly washed out and sallow in yellow gold. I always wear platinum or silver. I have a very cool complexion/dark brunette. Winter.

My daughter looks great in yellow gold but we have very different coloring. I stick to the cool colors.

Yeah I wonder if it has to do with what color clothes you look best in. I wear black and blues and greens and pinks, never browns or orange or yellow. So I guess that says I should stick to white jewelry.
