last time in bali i had 2 gold rings and 2 white cold rings melted down to make a ring to my design-got advice from this forum and flet very confident.
ring came back and looked fantastic and i was very happy-HOWEVER-after a few weeks the yellow gold started to change colour!-and one of the small stones fell out!
i took it to my local jeweller who told me that the yellow gold in the ring was not pure and had other metal mixed with it! he advised the white gold was ok!-my fault- the ring is worth yery little now (if anything!)should never have taken the risk!
dont do it!you have no way of settling the matter without a great hassle!
-they also gave me a small lump of leftover "yellow gold" thet they didnt need to make my new ring -which is now grey! lol!
