I need to get my engagement and wedding rings rhodium plated (they are white gold and have gotten very worn).

I have rung two jewellers and both have said that it can take up to two weeks.
I wouldn't like to be without my rings for that long.

Can anyone recommend somewhere (Dublin, preferably southside) that could do it quicker than that?


Thanks

Hi Carmel, i dont but would be very interested in this also need to get it done and dont want to be with out my rings.

I dont mean to hijack your post but does anyone know if you have to get the diamond removed for this to be done.
Thanks.
 
We get parts rhodium plated in work but it's done in America. We have looked for an Irish supplier but have never found one so I suspect the rings are shipped out for the coating.
 
I'm Cork-based so not much help with Dublin jewellers but I have had mine rhodium plated twice and had them back with in 4 days - i.e. drop off saturday, collect wednesday so I don't know why there is such a delay up there. Best bet might be to ring around or maybe a jeweller you have bought from would oblige more quickly?
 
I got my engagement ring done in Des Byrnes in Batchlors walk...took about 4 days. It was bought there.
 
march_hare, where in Cork did you get the rhodium-plating done? I'd like to get my wedding, engagement and eternity bands done, but have no idea where to go, or how much it would cost...

I know this thread is 12 months old, but here's hoping!
 
I got them done in Nevilles' Patrick St store which is now closed but they also have a shop on Winthrop st. I dropped my rings in last friday as it happens and they'll be ready by next thursday apparently. Pricey though at €35 a ring - up a tenner on the last time I had it done. I'll be trying somewhere else the next time. Keanes, Michel and Hilser would also do it I'd say.
 
Hi

Friend of mine has jewellers in Swords, Co. Dublin - L&J Jewellers ph 01-8404601.
John Dowling is the owner and he repairs all gold and diamond jewellry on the premises. Worth giving him a buzz and he will advise you on time and cost.

Best of luck
 
Try Lance Grossman Jewelers in Dundrum (opposite the Garda Station). He specialises in repairs and this kind of thing.
 
Took the plunge and got them done thru Neville's in B'pool - they said it'd be €35-40 per item. It took 9 days. They checked the settings on the e-ring (had never had this done, and have it since '95:eek:). In the end it was €35 each, and I'm really pleased with the result.
