Platinum Engagement Rings

Filed under:Unique Engagement Rings    

While the traditional element of a golden engagement ring still makes it a popular choice, platinum engagement rings are also favored by many people nowadays. It is a fact of life (and fashion) that styles are always changing, although certain jewelry styles tend to stay in vogue much longer and easier than other fashion elements. However, in recent years many people have decided to move away from the traditional look of gold, so platinum engagement rings have started to come to the forefront.

One question to ask yourself is whether you should go with white gold or platinum for the color you are looking for. Among the things that many consumers like about platinum is that it is usually about 95% pure when it is used for jewelry making. Because of this and the density of the substance itself, platinum rings feel heavier and more substantial than their white gold counterparts.

If price is an important factor, it may be easier to decide between white gold and platinum. That is because platinum rings are sometimes twice as much as white gold ones. However, the sturdiness and durability of platinum still makes platinum engagement rings a quality investment for most couples. After all, you want a ring that will last as long as your relationship, right?

When it comes to color, most white gold rings will not be easily distinguishable from platinum. This is due to the rhodium plating that allows white gold rings to have a much whiter color. Without the rhodium coating, white gold rings are noticeably darker than platinum rings, to where it is actually more of a dark grey. One aspect of this that may sway your decision a bit is that rhodium-plated white gold rings must be re-plated every year or so to retain their color.

With a good blend of value, durability, attractiveness and style, platinum engagement rings are a great choice for many couples. If you favor the whiter look of platinum over the classic tone of gold, you will probably be much perfectly happy with an engagement ring made of platinum.
