More about Platinum

Platinum is known as the most noble metal for jewellery with special properties that make this beautiful precious metal the best choice for engagement rings. Platinum engagement rings will not tarnish and will keep their white colour forever as platinum does not require plating, like white gold. Most engagement rings are made from a platinum alloy that consists of 95% platinum with 5% ruthenium -both are from the platinum metal group and are hypoallergenic.

South Africa holds the world’s largest platinum reserve up to 80% of the entire world, it is one of the densest metals. All the platinum mined to date can fit in an average swimming pool, making platinum a very precious metal.

Why Choose a Platinum Engagement Ring

You may pay a slightly higher price when choosing platinum for your engagement ring but over time you will get more value out of it as you will not need to re-plate your ring or undergo as much special maintenance as you would need to with white gold.

Your platinum engagement ring will not wear thinner with time and will hold your diamond with both strength and gentleness at the same time.

When choosing your platinum engagement ring, make sure your finger size is measured properly as we always advise to have the ring made to fit rather than resizing your engagement ring later. As Platinum is by nature a denser metal than gold, on average your platinum engagement ring will weigh around 1.4-1.5 times more than the same ring in 18K gold.

Advice and Recommendations

It is highly recommended that for your Platinum engagement ring, you also choose a platinum wedding ring, as a different metal and different alloy will not pair well together and the gold ring will wear away with time. Matching platinum rings together is better.

Our engagement ring specialist will be happy to advise you on the best style of ring to suit your taste and budget while maintaining the highest standard in making your platinum engagement ring as beautiful as you deserve.
