The Enduring Beauty of Platinum Wedding Rings

If you're planning your wedding and are prepared to shop around for rings, then there are lots of choices out there for you. Many couples select yellow gold for their rings, as it is a traditional and attractive choice. However, there are alternatives to yellow gold. Some people prefer a silvery look, and end up choosing either white gold or platinum wedding rings. There is a misconception that white gold and platinum are the same thing. In fact, these are two very different types of metals.

White gold is very similar in composition to yellow gold. The actual amount of pure gold that is contained in a ring will depend on the type of gold. For example, there is 14k gold, 18k gold, and 24k gold. The higher the number, the more pure the gold is. Many white gold rings are plated with rhodium to enhance the color. Because rhodium will eventually wear off, white gold rings will need to be re-plated with rhodium every few years. Most jewelry stores will be able to provide this service for a reasonable price.

In comparison, platinum is a much more pure metal than white gold. The purity of platinum is mostly around 95%. Not only that, but the silvery white color of the metal never needs plating and will never wear away or fade. Platinum is heavier than gold, more durable, and more beautiful. Because of this, you can expect to pay substantially more for a platinum ring than a gold one. Lots of celebrity couples have chosen platinum rings as their symbols of commitment. After all, they can certainly afford to buy the best. With the high rate of hook-ups and break-ups happening in Hollywood, the rings often last longer than the marriages do!

Platinum wedding rings are a most beautiful and appealing choice for quite a few couples, and have been for ages. You'll find antique platinum rings that have been handed down for centuries, as well as brand new platinum rings that decorate the glass covered cases of jewelry stores. There are diamond engagement rings made from platinum, as well as platinum wedding bands for both men and women. Rings made from this beautiful and enduring metal are a popular choice for many couples, and will continue to be for years to come!
