Comments on: Would it be wrong to melt a gold ring my grandmother gave me? http://goldcoinsbullion.com/2009/01/would-it-be-wrong-to-melt-a-gold-ring-my-grandmother-gave-me/ Information about gold coins and bullion Tue, 16 Feb 2010 20:00:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Brian http://goldcoinsbullion.com/2009/01/would-it-be-wrong-to-melt-a-gold-ring-my-grandmother-gave-me/#comment-2994 Brian Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:03:47 +0000 http://goldcoinsbullion.com/family/would-it-be-wrong-to-melt-a-gold-ring-my-grandmother-gave-me#comment-2994 Okay, I can't seem to find where to post a new question so I am replying to this question. My girlfriend's parents have a 1/3 oz gold bar from their wedding, I wanted to know if that would be enough to forge a engagement ring, and maybe the wedding rings, or something else, like some coins(how many?) with the wedding details on it. Obviously the ring(s) would have some other metals (I think silver) add since 14k gold is ideal for jewlery. What is everyone's thoughts? Thank you.

After reading your explanation, I say "yes". I think you grandmother would want you to have something you will enjoy wearing and that fits you. To have the gold melted down and have a ring that fits you would be great. The rest of the gold you could make a gold coin with "Abuela" engraved on it. Put a gold band around it and get a gold chain and ware if like a necklace. You probably already have a gold chain that you could use. Or make a second ring a little widder and have "Abuela" engraved on it. I like the idea of a ring special for you and a coin necklace with "Abuela" engraved on it. Blessings When I first read the question, I said No way.

The gold may be worth 2000, but the ring is priceless. If it is too big, have it re-fitted. Don't make things complicated. You can pass it down generations. Your oldest daughter (if you have one) should get it) then she can pass it down, and so on. All because your grandma felt you should have it first. Don't ruin this, because you want a fast buck. Money comes and goes, this will last lifetimes. Something like that you keep. The gold may be worth 2000, but the ring is priceless. If it is too big, have it re-fitted.

Its better to be proud and wearing it than to be a hypocrite and ashamed of what it is. Your grandmother will still be happy as long as you can explain why you change it. Blame it on the size of your finger or something that would help I hope. Melt it the way you like it and wear it with the same initials.

Its better to do that and get something you like rather than not wear the ring because you don't like it, especially considering that it is expensive.
