Would you wear a wedding ring set that wasn't real?

Of course I would, silver is still beautiful, no sense in getting something that will irritate your skin and no sense in getting something you can't afford.

Nothing wrong with silver :)

a sturdy CZ is indistinguishable from a diamond. Even jewellers can no longer tell the version without pulling out a laser. Your pal became into the two guessing or you acquire some very low grade cubic zirconia. human beings make the errors of having a CZ that's far too huge to bypass off as a real diamond because of fact the price may be extensive. in case you stick to under a million.5ct no you will even bat an eyelash. and you gets sturdy CZ stones for in basic terms some hundred, much less in case you go small, of course. you could desire to alter the middle stone to a extra constructive high quality CZ or something smaller and extra sensible, if that's the difficulty. you additionally can change it over to a gemstone or a small diamond on your budget. there is not any longer something incorrect with a CZ ring, it is not trashy, it is in basic terms extra less expensive. Cubic zirconia have extra constructive characteristics than a diamond and at a fraction of the cost! Why every person might want a diamond i visit never comprehend.

I could not wear ANY jewelry that isn't silver, white gold or platinum. I'm highly allergic to nickel and that's what they use to make cheap jewelry. I'll break out in hives on the area, it will become swollen and in some cases I've had to go to the hospital to get the jewelry removed (when I was younger) because it was swollen so badly. So no, I wouldn't wear a "fake" set of anything.

Having a bridal set that's in silver doesn't make it "fake", silver is a pure metal, it's just a softer metal.

I would wear silver, I'd be proud to wear it because it came from my man. Don't go around telling people your silver is platinum, that's tacky.

I have an allergen to nickel as well. My original wedding ring was in 14 kt gold. I had to take it off after a couple of years, because it bothered my hand so much. In 2005 they were stolen by someone we trusted. Just before our 10th wedding anniversary, my husband went online and bought me an inexpensive plain platinum wedding ring. www.goldenmine.com

is the site where he bought my ring. Good luck.

Sterling silver tarnishes after a while, and you definitely should not try to pass off sterling sliver as platinum. It is quite easy to tell the difference between the two as sterling silver is a darker metal. Sterling silver is also not hypoallergenic and you may still have a reaction to it.

I would recommend palladium, its in the same family as platinum, but much less pricey. It's also hypoallergenic.

Define "real". I wouldn't try to pass off one metal as another, no. I also would never wear sterling, it tarnishes. However, if you are allergic and not just suffering from dry skin as a result of not properly drying under/around your rings, there's no reason not to try sterling. Be aware that one metal sensitivity is usually indicative of others though so maybe try to wear something borrowed before you buy.

Good luck!

The answer is palladium.

It's platinum's sister metal at the price of white gold. Hypoallergenic, so no worries.

Would I wear silver? No, because it's cheap and tarnishes.

White gold is a mixture of gold and nickel.

Since it is impossible to have a gold allergy, you must be reacting to nickel.

Sterling silver is made with copper.

Since copper and nickel are so similar, it is likely that you would react to both. Have you worn much silver jewelry before?

It might not be an allergy...if you were not removing your ring for showers, hand washing, etc the trapped moisture underneath can cause a type of dermatitis....which is a problem I have. If any water is involved I remove my rings and do not place them back on until my hands are dry. Also, yellow gold or coating the inside of the rings with clear nail polish are other options.

I have a better idea. Rather than buying a new cheap ring, you should see about getting your white gold ring rhodium plated. It's not expensive and should protect your skin from the allergic reaction you are having from the gold.

Edit: Your allergy is probably to nickel. White gold has a high level of nickel in it. That's what makes it white as gold is naturally yellow.

If you are reacting to white gold, there is a good chance you will react to other metals/materials, too. You might need to save up for real platinum.

That being said, if you are able to tolerate the other metals, then I think it is fine & would certainly explore the possibility as well. But having allergies and eczema myself, I am pretty sure that if you reacted to white gold you will react to other metals.

As an aside, have you gone to an allergist to determine what in the white gold is making you react? Is there any chance that you might not react to yellow gold?
