Platinum Wedding Rings – why Platinum?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Platinum wedding rings are purchased by brides and by grooms. This beautiful, tactile precious metal can be\u00a0fashioned into almost every wedding band design imaginable<\/a>. Platinum can be engraved, machined, set with diamonds, matte finished or polished.<\/p>\n

Most brides are influenced by the metal of their engagement ring. Jewellers advocate keeping to the same metal choice\u00a0\u2013 ensuring\u00a0consistency with both wear and colour between both rings.<\/p>\n

Buyers of Platinum wedding rings often base their choice on\u00a0learning the following benefits of Platinum.\u00a0\"Advantages<\/p>\n

Platinum is naturally white<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A key benefit of Platinum is the natural whiteness. By comparison, white gold is ever so slightly tinted \u2013 finished with a white Rhodium plating<\/a> which can wear over time. Platinum requires no plating. You see the bare metal typically polished with a mirror surface.<\/p>\n

Platinum can be refurbished<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Some metals don’t take kindly to being worked, repaired and re-finished. Owing to the natural density of Platinum, it can be re-furbished \u2013 returned to it’s as-new appearance, mirror polished and gleaming. Many antique pieces of Platinum <\/a>jewellery remain in circulation \u2013 testament to the durability of Platinum. Less metal is lost during re-polishing. As a result Platinum wedding rings wear very well over many years. The natural patina that builds on the surface \u2013 accumulated scratches and wear are seen as a desirable characteristic of antique jewellery so buyers should never feel concerned when scratches first appear. They can be removed by simply re-polishing the ring, or by using non-abrasive Platinum cloths<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Platinum feels luxurious<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Jewellery is not just about appearance.\u00a0As you drop a Platinum wedding ring into the palm of your hand, it is the feel of luxury\u00a0which is most striking. The first thing you will notice is the weight<\/a>. Platinum has a weighty, substantial feel to it \u2013 weighing \u00a0approximately a third heavier than 18ct white gold. It is around twice as heavy as Palladium.<\/p>\n

Fact :\u00a0a 6 inch cube of Platinum weighs around the same as an average adult man.<\/p>\n

Platinum is Strong<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Platinum is strong, making it a perfect metal for setting diamonds. The surface of Platinum is not extremely hard and it will scratch, but malleability is different. The fact that Platinum is less easily bent \u2013 less malleable makes it a great choice for holding diamonds with greater strength than many other metal choices.<\/p>\n

\"Platinum<\/p>\n

Platinum\u00a0is rare<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you placed all of the World’s mined Platinum in an Olympic sized swimming pool, it would barely cover the depth of your\u00a0ankles. Platinum is a rare metal\u00a0\u2013 the cost of extraction and the amount of Platinum available, make this metal rare and therefore more expensive with a much higher intrinsic value than other precious metals. There is a significant for demand for Platinum, and the use actually stretches much further than most people know. Most of us carry some Platinum in our pockets<\/a> \u2013 small quantities are found in the circuitry of our mobile phones.<\/p>\n

\"Platinum<\/p>\n

Platinum is naturally hypo-allergenic<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Platinum wedding rings are perfect for allergy sufferers or for people with sensitive skin. Provided rings are kept clean, Platinum remains a perfect choice for wedding rings worn every day.<\/p>\n
