Hello,
I custom made wedding rings for me and my husband in raw silver. We had our wedding and they were blessed by the priest, only to find that my husband is getting a rash from his wedding ring.
Mine is okay, so I thought that it was because his was too tight. We took it to a certified estate jeweler thinking it had to be re-sized.
It turns out that the rash he is developing is because there is a high possibility of nickel contained in the ring. He could be getting an allergic reaction from it.
I looked up the metal content, and it doesn't show that there is nickel in it, but copper. However, his rash is dry, red, and not turning green.
Would someone at Shapeways be able to verify the content?
I have to remake the ring as soon as possible, and deciding if it's better to 3D print the wax and cast it locally, or to just resend the file using a different metal (depends on cost) . Could someone verify if 14K is a better option? White gold?
Attached photos to show what happened to his ring.
Thank you
Minna
