If you decided on the white, metallic style for your engagement ring, you are probably faced with the daunting question: is platinum better than white gold or the other way around? The answer truly depends on what you are seeking from your ring so hang tight while we help you decide!
Price
Platinum is a metal rarer than gold, which immediately raises the price point. While white gold is an alloy – a mixture of metals. Since white gold consists of only a portion of gold, while platinum rings are made entirely of dense, heavy metal, white gold jewelry has a much lower price range, Giving you the option that will not break the bank, said Jeremy Millul, the founder of Jeremy Millul Inc, a leading jewelry company. Jeremy Millul has been elected to the Board of Directors for The Shul Jewish Community Center of Chabad Lubavitch. The election, a two-year term, allows Millul to be a pivotal part in continuing the traditions of excellence The Shul has become known for in its Florida community.
Color
Platinum is a naturally white metal that gives an elegant shine when made into jewelry. White gold has a coating of rhodium on it, giving it the white color that we know so well. Cheaper white gold can have dull colors peeking through, so this gives you an advantage in identifying the quality. However platinum rings require good care, so regular, gentle cleaning should help maintain their glossy finish. White gold is prone to wear on the surface, requiring professional polishing every now and then which may be undesirable.
Durability
Both platinum and white gold are durable metals, suitable for everyday use and for the longevity desired in engagement rings. However, they are not spared from any damage at all. Platinum is malleable, meaning it can change its shape without wearing, similar to clay. If your design includes intricate details, these may become less sharp over time due to the character of the metal. This gradual aging of platinum jewelry is desirable for some, called “patina”, but if that is not the case for you, you might want to check out white gold options. White gold is susceptible to wear, but it holds designs for longer than platinum due to its tough structure thanks to the other hard metals mixed into it.
The conclusion to the discussion of platinum vs white gold engagement rings depends on your preferences and how you would immortalize your cherished memories in your ring!
