Platinum Rings Information
Platinum engagement rings and wedding bands are soon becoming the buyer’s choice over gold.
Being the strongest of the jewelry metals platinum produces a heavily weighted ring that will last longer.
Even rarer than gold its cost per ounce is often double and for good reason. Its strength is much higher than both silver and gold and its shiny white color enhances the sparkle and brilliance of diamonds.
While gold can over time wear away, platinum will almost never develop cracks or chips.
Once you witness the finesse of platinum especially with diamonds it is hard to go back to gold and many actually find themselves purchasing white gold as a cheaper alternative.
A genuine platinum ring will have an imprint of 950 Plat or simply Plat written on it somewhere. This indicates that the ring contains 95% Platinum as it is normally mixed with another metal such as iridium, palladium, ruthenium to produce the quality desired for jewelry.
