    I bought my husband an 18K grey & yellow gold wedding band made in
    Germany and just received it mid-February.  Unfortunately, his
    finger gets so raw it sometimes bleeds so he only wears it when we go
    out.  We were told prior to buying the ring that in Germany they use
    less nickel in their gold.  Is that true?
