Platinum is one of the most precious metals due to its purity and durability. It has a beautiful colour, often compared to white gold. Platinum’s natural colour can be described as white or sliver. Its colour and elegance are the very reasons why it is an ideal material for wedding bands and engagement rings.
Platinum is thirty times as rare as gold and is only made purer when used for jewellery; platinum must be near 95% of its own material to be considered pure platinum. Fortunately, there are many affordable options for platinum, such as the 585 Platinum, which consists of 58.5% platinum and 41.5% cobalt and copper.
Platinum is known for its durability, as well as its unique resistance against heat expansion. Platinum is also heavier than most metals, hence is ideal as a ring setting to properly secure the diamond .
