Credit card companies now offer platinum credit cards, which are a step above gold cards.

Gold has finally been displaced as the most precious of precious metals. The demand for platinum engagement rings is so high that the value of the metal has reached all time highs. It’s true that platinum engagement rings are more expensive than those made of gold but the benefits justify the price.

Why are platinum engagement rings more expensive than gold rings?

Platinum is a precious metal. In fact, it’s more precious than gold. It takes ten tons of platinum ore to produce one ounce of pure platinum. It also weighs more than gold, so the added weight makes for a more expensive product. Platinum engagement rings are considerably more expensive than gold engagement rings. Producing quality platinum engagement rings takes a lot of work. Because of the density of platinum, only a highly-skilled worker can create a worthy product.

What benefits do platinum engagement rings offer?

Platinum engagement rings are rare, and having one shows just how much consideration you put into your purchase. Platinum engagement rings are extremely beautiful. The look of a platinum ring is clean, stylish, and sophisticated. It’s a perfect compliment to any type of precious stone, especially a solitaire ring.

The platinum look is similar to that of white gold but it has the added benefit of being hypoallergenic. So, if you want the white gold look but have overly sensitive skin then a platinum ring will meet your needs. Most white gold rings need a protective coating to keep the white gold color. Not so for platinum. It may not look as bright or shiny as a white gold diamond ring, but it will not need to be rhodium plated to keep its color.
