White Platinum
The Beauty Within the Platinum Engagement Ring
When buying an engagement ring, it is extremely important to keep in mind the lifestyle of the bride-to-be; the metals of the engagement ring are very important to the lifespan of the ring. For many women, a platinum engagement ring is the perfect choice. Platinum is a white metal that is very dense (heavy) and very strong. Generally, it is used in an almost pure form. It will not tarnish or lose its color due to its purity. Platinum is ideal for someone with skin allergies as it is hypoallergenic and will not cause skin irritations. Other metals are not used in their pure form and cannot make these types of promises because of that fact.
Why Not White Gold
Some would ask if white gold is the same as platinum and the answer is quite simply, no. Each of these metals has their own properties, which is an obvious reason for what makes them different. However, the largest difference to someone who is shopping for an engagement ring is that the white gold is a mix of white gold and other metals such a palladium and silver. After the ring is formed, it must be coated with another metal called Rhodium, which is a white chemical coating. This coating must be reapplied every year to year and one-half in order to keep the band looking white. White gold without the coating is quite gray in color, not really white at all.
So Why Chose the Platinum Engagement Ring
Platinum, on the other hand, is quite white in color and since used in a pure form, the color remains true for the life of the ring. While, the platinum engagement ring will be much more expensive than it’s competitors for many reasons, these reasons should not deter you from making the purchase. It is true that platinum is very rare, more rare than gold, which will often force the price of the setting to be double the cost of a similar setting made of white gold but the rarity of the metal only increases the value of the ring. In addition, because it is used in a pure form (generally 95% pure), it is extremely durable.
With This Platinum Engagement Ring…
Today, platinum engagement rings are very popular because of their durability but also because of their bright true appearance. The platinum engagement ring is known for it’s breathtaking shine, which reflects the brilliance and sparkle of the gemstones placed upon it. Platinum is also very long wearing so the lifespan of the platinum engagement ring is one that could span many generations.
