| I'm running into an issue with my Ering. We were told it was Platinum many many times by the jewelery store (before and after it was purchased).. but we never received any documents with the ring. I could have swore on the inside of the band it was stamped PLAT but when it was resized to fit me... that was removed, now it says nothing on the inside. We were out shopping for wedding bands today and another jewelery store told us that no one in (our city) sells plat bands and that it must just be a plat setting... FH is furious!! so we go back to the original store and in casual conversation with another clerk we bring this up (the manager is who we dealt with before was not in today). They told us that they have definitely sold plat rings so who ever told us you can't get plat (in our city) is crazy. They suggested we come back when the manager is there (since we have already dealt with him) and ask for an appraisal so we have documents for insurance purposes. Now my ring wasn't crazy expensive like some of you girls on here... but it was enough. When FH bought it, it was actually on sale which put it in his "comfort zone" price range. And apparently this is why we didn't receive any paperwork on the ring because they don't do that for their 50% off rings. which makes NO sense to me... this is why i'm doubting that it is what they said it was.. We are also thinking about getting an outside appraisal as well. But has anyone else had reason to doubt that the ring they purchased is what they were told??

| Don't get the appraisal done where you bought it, especially if you doubt their honesty. My rings have PT950 stamped on the inside but it is not small enough nor in an area where it would be eliminated if the ring were sized.

Platinum really isn't rare at all. And its not ALWAYS super expensive. Definitely go get your ring appraised somewhere to put your mind at rest but I think you're over thinking this a little!! Don't worry!

I agree. Get an outside appraisal. If they're screwing you around, they may just fudge the appraisal too, and you'll still wonder.

| My ring is platinum it has PLAT on the inside of the band. Also, if you doubt the ring then try this...platinum is substantially heavier than gold and you can feel the difference when holding a gold ring and a platinum ring. Hold a gold ring and then a platinum ring, and you can tell the difference right away in weight. The platinum is heavy. It's quite surprising actually.

| Uh oh. Keep this in mind..jewelery ppl are like used car salesmen..they lie. It is VERY true about the weight of PLAT against gold. It is very possible that only the upper setting is PLAT and the actual e-ring band is only white gold. You should of received a document with the ring FOR SURE and on the reciept it should also state a PLAT band. Honestly if your band was anything under $500 (assuming it has no stones on the band) I would be very concerned if it is plated gold. And yes, I am taking the sale in mind. Under $1000 for a PLAT band is almost unheard of. BTW..my sister works at a vary well known HUGE jewelery store. I get all the ins and outs from her. There are certain stores out there that have a VERY bad name in the business~~

| I know fo one jewellery store that has gotten into trouble a few times for 'false information' about their products...a friend bought a 'gold' necklace only to find out it wasn't gold....and i read in the paper about a girl who was told she had a diamond engagment ring...when only the centre stone was diamond, the rest were CZ! I would get it appraised for sure...i have never heard of rings coming w/o paper work
