If I have an eternity band can I get it re-dipped or would they have to take out all of the stones and reset them?

That is awesome. If they had to come out I could just imagine the look on the guy's face when he had to take a million little diamonds out on top of the main one...

I copied this off of a website...
Technically there is no such thing as actual “white gold.” Because white gold is commonly 14k (58.3%) or 18k (75%), it actually contains a natural yellowish tinge of color even though it has already been alloyed with some other white metals such as nickel, zinc, copper, silver, and palladium. And in order to give “white gold” its brilliant white lustrous color, it is plated with the chemical element known as rhodium in the final process of manufacturing. Rhodium is a shiny, white metal that is extremely hard and durable. Rhodium also belongs in the platinum family and is one of the whitest precious metals next to silver. And because rhodium is such an expensive metal, it is only used to give a white coating for gold. However, over time the rhodium plating may wear-off, revealing the slightly yellowish tint of the underlying metal. To keep white gold looking its best, it requires rhodium re-plating every 1-2 years, depending on the condition of the jewelry.
So basically the rhodium on my ring is wearing off and it looks super dull next to my wedding band so I want to get it redipped in rhodium before the wedding.
