Q: I have a consumer who wears a white gold diamond band next to her platinum engagement ring. The diamonds from the band are rubbing against the prongs in the engagement ring and are damaging them. Why is this happening and how do I fix it?
A: A diamond, the hardest substance on earth, will cut through anything when given the opportunity. Platinum jewelry, as with any fine jewelry is not immune to this. Since a band and engagement ring are constantly rubbing together when the wearer moves their fingers, the diamonds can scratch and damage the surface of the engagement ring. Damaged prongs may have to be replaced. But if the rings are soldered together, the damage can be minimized.
