    Why not platinum sterling? Lovely color, greater strength (I think).
    Seems like a perfect solution for her. 

    My original wedding ring was misplaced so I threw on a sterling band
    I made a long time ago, it happened to fit. It's been holding up just
    fine... Though I do have plans to replace it with something else,
    eventually.
