Wedding Rings – The Pull Of Platinum

Although expensive, platinum is often the precious metal of choice when it comes to wedding rings. Rarer than gold and a purer metal, platinum doesn’t age or damage as easily as gold and is the perfect metal to set of the brilliance of diamonds when used in either eternity, engagement or wedding rings.

The beautiful shining light of platinum is eye-catching and rare – and that’s why people often choose this precious metal for their engagement rings. Just as the circle of the ring symbolises everlasting love, so platinum symbolises the purity and rarity of love, making the two a perfect match as far as wedding rings are concerned. So, what do you know about the pull of platinum?

• Purity – platinum is considered to be the most pure precious metal on the planet. Whereas 18 carat gold is around 75% pure, platinum is 95% pure, which gives it its sheen, and it’s reputation for long-lasting beauty – making it ideal for your wedding rings.

• Flexibility – platinum is an extraordinary metal, because it can be worked in a way that few other precious metals can. This means that as well as for wedding rings, jewellers can use platinum to create some amazing pieces. Platinum can be bent and stretched to incredible thinness, making it the ideal metal for contemporary designs. In addition, platinum is used in industrial and medical applications, where its versatility and purity make it the only choice for technologically-advanced products.

• Rarity – one of the reasons that platinum is so sought-after is that it is rare. There is far less platinum in the world than there is gold, which is why platinum pieces are often more expensive. It’s worth it though, as your platinum wedding rings will still be looking fabulous in fifty years’ time – and will retain their value.

• Complementary – platinum is a metal that really brings out the beauty of any stone that it’s paired with, and is particularly at home when it’s matched with diamonds. This makes it the perfect choice for wedding rings with a difference. A platinum band with diamonds embedded in it, or mounted on it, will always look stunning.
