Dear TPFers,

i bought my Yellow gold wedding love ring last tuesday.
I only wear it during the day, stack it in the original box by night.
I work during the day time at an office, take it of whil washing hands, showering etc.
This morning I took a cartier cloth to clean it and saw soooo many scratches.
feeling very sad.. shall I take it back?

Thanks in advance

Oh honey, it's going to happen. Nothing you can do to prevent scratches except to lock it up in a drawer and never wear it :(

My advise is to wear your gorgy ring, enjoy it, and remember that each scratch or blemish means that you are living life.....not just watching from the sidelines!

It's gold and sadly it happens. Before hallmarks people would bite gold jewellery to check the gold content. Teeth mark=high gold content. No teeth mark=low or no gold content.

Even platinum scratches, just took my TB in for a polish. The jeweller, when I complained about the micro scratches suggested rhodium plating to keep it bright and shiney. There may be something similar for gold but If not applied by the original maker would probably invalidate your warranty.

The patina that will eventually develop is unique to each piece, wear and enjoy your beautiful ring.

Thank you Penny - so chosen because I admire her self-sacrifice to save the Jewish people. From my signature you can tell I am a most humble servant of Jesus Christ.

What made you choose yellow gold over the pink gold?

The scratches will eventually kind of blend in and form a beautiful patina. It happens with every love piece - just live with it and enjoy it!

I'm sorry to hear that your ring has scratches but it is bound to happen! I for one can feel your pain but I've moved on and accepted it. Although Cartier will not refund or exchange your ring since it worn, but they prob will offer a shinning service which can make it look new or wear down the gold (making it thinner than its original weight and form)! Wear it in good health!
