    It turns out they are not remaking the ring, but instead using "some"
    process to what I gather "reinforce" the existing structure using a
    Pt 90/ 8.5Pd/1.5 Cobalt Alloy. 

    It seems that from this hardness chart, it would seem an
    improvement:

    The store also said that if they remake the ring from scratch, the
    strength/durability difference is negligible... 

Any thoughts?
