Engagement Ring Metals: Platinum v/s Gold

When designing an engagement ring, it is important to choose the right metal for the ring. It is advisable to know the different quality aspects for the different types of rings available. However, when you select the diamond, you will also need to consider the metal for the band.
Metal is the standing beauty of the diamond engagement rings. The most popular metals for an engagement ring are platinum and gold. Let’s compare both.

Color: Gold in metals comes in white and yellow color.  White gold is popular for moderns trends whereas yellow gold is considered for traditional engagement rings. However, platinum has only one color, bright white.

Quality: Platinum is a durable metal as compared to gold because it is dense and heavier than gold. Gold can easily break when it gets scratched where as platinum has strong resistance. When platinum gets scratched, it just displaced without any loss. Mostly platinum is the desirable choice for couples to opt for their engagement rings and wedding band.

Care: A gold engagement ring needs to be cleaned on a regular basis when you wear a it on a daily basis. This is because yellow gold loses its shine and shows a dully appearance whereas white gold uncovers the white appearance and starts showing the yellow gold underneath. Platinum does not lose its luster if it gets cleaned occasionally, whether you wear it regularly or only for special occasions.

Cost: The price of platinum is much higher than gold because platinum is rare and highly in demand. A platinum engagement ring is more expensive than white/yellow gold, since platinum costs about four times more than gold.

The final overview of the metals: Platinum vs. Gold - It is known to everyone that platinum is hypo-allergic so it doesn't produces any reaction on the skin whereas in gold there are hardly any chances for the reaction to take place.

Gold is the hallmark for yellow jewelry, and has historic relevance. But keep in mind that white gold, although very popular for jewelry, isn’t really naturally white. Platinum is the premium metal on the market today for jewelry. It is naturally white, durable, and can potentially last a lifetime. You may have to pay a little more for platinum now, but the metal’s benefits last forever.

Great information. A hear a lot about palladium too, appears to be a good alternative. I think the white gold depends on the percentage of yellow gold and other metals, the ratio can determine if the white gold will hold its color or fade. From Jewellers Dublin

A precious metal engagement ring needs to be cleaned regularly when you wear a it regularly. This is because precious metal loses its shine and shows a dully appearance whereas white precious metal or platinum uncovers the white appearance and starts showing the precious metal underneath.

I am wearing a 18K white gold wedding ring that I have worn continuously for the last 2 years. I have no doubts about the durability of white gold. Platinum is corrosion and heat resistant. While it does not tarnish, it is possible to corrode it with cyanides, halogens, sulfur, and caustic alkalis. My brother Adam L. is going to marry and I will suggest him to buy white gold engagement ring. Thanks for the post.
