WHY PLATINUM
As pure as your love for each other, platinum is the perfect choice for your engagement ring that will last a lifetime. Not only is platinum considered to be one of the strongest and most durable metals, it has a fascinating story – one that dates back to 1557 when it was discovered by Italian-French physician, Julius Caesar Scaliger.
As one of the most precious and rare metals in the world and known as the most noble metal for jewellery, platinum is a preferred choice for use in diamond engagement rings. When weighing up palladium rings vs. platinum rings, there are many unique platinum ring benefits to consider:
Platinum is a noble metal, meaning it is resistant to corrosion and oxidation in moist air, unlike other base metals.
Platinum is a pure metal, making it hypoallergenic and ideal to be worn by those with sensitive skin or who are prone to allergic skin reactions.
Platinum’s purity makes it one of the strongest, most durable metals in the world – its strength ensures that the diamond is most secure in the setting.
Platinum does not wear thinner over time. If scratched, the metal is merely displaced and can be polished back to its original shine.
Platinum will not tarnish and needs less maintenance compared to other metals like white gold, which requires regular rhodium plating to maintain its white colour.
Platinum’s remarkable natural light colour complements a diamond perfectly and brings out its shine magnificently.
