Engaged and then found out I’m allergic to gold. Help!!

Hey guys,

I got engaged in October, and since then I’ve been dealing with a rash on my face. The dermatologist did patch testing and found out I’m allergic to gold and when I wash my face I’m getting a reaction! I think the biggest culprit is titanium dioxide in foundation/sunscreens since it can have a reaction with gold apparently.

So I’m freaking out. My fiancé just says we can reset the ring in platinum, but this was a big purchase and something he picked out by himself (he also wanted to double band the ring, so it’s more to replace) so I feel soooo bad and it already feels sentimental to me along with the massive cost.

Any recs? I saw you can dip jewelry but it turns it silver. Is there any way to dip it clear?? I have tried just not wearing the jewelry applying when washing face, but I still get a rash by end of day since products are on my face. I’m so upset by this!!
