What is platinum?
Platinum is a pure, silver-toned metal, amongst the rarest in the world. As a colourless metal, platinum is bright and lustrous, and is the perfect accompaniment for diamonds, to keep them icy and similarly colourless. The platinum metal used for engagement rings is typically 95% platinum, 5% other precious metals (like palladium, copper or rhodium), otherwise referred to as ‘950 platinum’.
Why choose a
platinum ring?
As a colourless and lustrous metal, platinum is a great choice for diamond engagement rings. The reflectivity of the metal enhances the diamond’s sparkle, keeping it bright, colourless and icy. Other metals, like yellow and rose gold, can have their warm tones picked up by the diamond, therefore reducing its colourless appearance.
Platinum is an incredibly durable metal, more resistant to nicks and scratches than gold metals.
Platinum has remained the most popular choice for engagement rings since its first use, and has proven to stand the test of time, taste-wise. Platinum metal is versatile, suitable for a wide variety of tastes and designs, and is the perfect choice for a timeless engagement ring that will transcend fashions and changing trends.
