Default Yellow to White Gold

I have a yellow gold wedding ring and would like to have it cast into either
white gold or platinum. Is there any company or process out there that would
allow me to take my sacred ring and redesign it with white gold or platinum?

Thanks,
Frank

The suggested way should be to make a rubber form in non shrinking=20
silicone from your wedding ring, and then cast in white gold or platinum =

in lost wax casting process.
e.g. like he

No, I was thinking about plating the yellow gold with platinum or white
gold. Does anyone do this?

How about melting this ring down and mixing it with other white gold or
platinum?

I want to use the essence of this ring, not make a duplicate.

Thanks,
Frnak

The result will be a horrible greenish/grey colour. If You like this You =

order such things.
