In general, erasing and re-engraving of wedding rings is a fairly quick job. And although it will always depend on the demand or availability of the supplier, especially on quarantine days, you can have your rings modified within a day or two.

Regarding values, you will find workshops that perform this work in Santiago for $10,000 or $12,000 a pair approximately, depending on the location, so the price may vary. You can inscribe only the new wedding date, keeping the pattern of the original ring or, taking advantage of the fact that you will have to return to the store, add a short love phrase if space permits.

Unlike wedding decorations, souvenirs or the groom's suit and wedding dress, which you can keep intact, wedding rings will have to be modified, at least if you had already engraved the wedding date that had to be postponed due to the coronavirus crisis.
