Platinum Engagement Rings
Platinum information, facts, pros and cons
WHAT IS PLATINUM?
Platinum is a naturally white precious heavy metal that is malleable, dense, and perfect for jewelry making. All jewelry grade metals are mixed or alloyed with other metals to maximize durability and platinum is mixed with white metals like palladium, ruthenium, rhodium, iridium, or osmium to retain its silvery color.
What You Should Know About Platinum
Rich and sleek, platinum is one of the rarest metals on earth and has been used since ancient times. Because of its strength and durability, platinum has been used to set many of the world’s most famous diamonds. Whiter and crisper than white gold, it creates a uniform look with white stones like diamonds and moissanite. With cool stones or warm stones, there is a heightened color contrast and it allows design details in the metal to really pop.

WHO IS PLATINUM RIGHT FOR?
Platinum is a great choice for those that want a sophisticated, true white metal. It’s also one of the very few hypoallergenic metals and engagement ring options for those with metal sensitivity. Because platinum is so dense, it is not a good choice for people who work with their hands or are rough on their jewelry.
