Searching for an engagement ring that will last as long as your love? You may wish to choose your design in platinum. Platinum can be difficult to differentiate from white gold by eye as it is a beautiful pure, white metal. It is highly desirable to jewellery buyers due to its rarity, durability, and non-reactive properties. For these reasons, platinum tends to be the preferred choice for wedding bands and engagement rings. The quality and prestige of this precious metal pairs perfectly with the incredible sparkle and brilliance of diamonds.
When compared to gold, platinum is less brittle. Whereas gold has the ability to snap or break, platinum is more malleable so will only bend. This quality in platinum is invaluable within jewellery, for example, the claws of a platinum engagement ring are more likely to bend rather than break - therefore keeping the diamond secure and safe. Platinum is so valuable within the jewellery industry due to the fact it has desirable properties and is mined at around 1/10th of the rate that gold is.
Platinum is around 34% denser than 18-carat gold which is another reason as to why it is valued so highly. The density of the metal means that, should it get scratched, it can be polished very easily to its former state without losing any weight. Gold, on the other hand, loses a layer each time it is polished - meaning it may decrease in weight and value. Although white gold may look similar to platinum, it requires a lot more upkeep as it should be re-plated around every 1-2 years to maintain its colour.
