When it comes time to begin searching for your engagement or wedding ring, one of the main considerations is which metal to choose. If you’re considering platinum vs. white gold, either is a wonderful choice and the best decision is the metal you love best.

Below are some of the benefits of choosing platinum.

• Confidence and security: platinum is a malleable metal that is an excellent choice for the prongs that secure your diamonds and other stones.
• Durability: platinum is 60% denser than gold. It doesn’t lose metal over time due to daily wear and won’t require reinforcement or re-shanking over time.
• Lower maintenance: platinum is naturally white, so unlike white gold, doesn’t have a plating. This means that platinum doesn’t require re-plating or re-dipping and it won’t fade or change color over time.
• No allergy concerns: platinum is hypo-allergenic (unlike white gold, which can contain alloys such as nickel).
• Versatility: platinum works well in any style — from vintage to modern!
• Rarity: platinum is 30 times rarer than gold.

A platinum ring will be just as beautiful on your fifty year anniversary as it is today!
