| Which metal is better for you? |
| Most consumers hear so much about the advantages of Platinum, but it’s not for everyone. If you buy a delicate ring and have an active lifestyle, your ring may bend easily if it’s Platinum. Also, Platinum is more expensive that White Gold. Below is a list of benefits of one metal vs. the other: Platinum is 90%-95% pure (we use only 95% pure Platinum): 18k gold is 75% pure, 14k gold is 58.5% pure. WHICH MEANS You get more pure metal for your money Platinum is naturally white. White gold is not- it has a Rhodium plating applied to be fully white, which can fade or change color. WHICH MEANS You won’t have to have it Rhodium plated again like you would with White Gold. Platinum is hypoallergenic WHICH MEANS It doesn’t affect sensitive skin Platinum is 35 times more rare than gold WHICH MEANS You will have something not everyone can possess.
