Platinum: the king of metals
A Platinum wedding ring is rare, pure, versatile, and eternal. See the reasons why platinum is the worlds most precious metal.
Platinum is Rare:
Platinum is 35 times rarer than gold. It is found in scarce amounts in very few places in the world. In fact, all the platinum ever mined would probably not fill your living room. A platinum wedding ring or band is rare, distinctive, and exclusive. More than one ton of platinum must be mined to create a single platinum ring!
Platinum is Pure:
Platinum’s purity gives it a beautiful white luster. It is usually 95% pure (18 karat gold is 75% pure). The high level of purity ensures that your platinum wedding ring will not fade or tarnish. Your platinum ring will look the same 50 years from now as it does today. The purity means that your platinum wedding band is hypo allergenic, which is great for people with sensitive skin.

Platinum is Eternal:
Platinum’s weight and density make it more durable than other metals. This means a platinum wedding ring is perfect for a lifetime of everyday wear. Unlike gold, platinum does not wear away. A platinum wedding band or ring will hold precious stones securely. Unlike other metals a scratch on a platinum ring is only a disbursement of the metal, so it does not lose weight or volume. Platinum wedding bands remain eternally the same.
Platinum is Versatile:
Even with its density and strength, Platinum is so versatile and pliable that a single gram can be drawn into a fine wire over a mile long! This versatility allows jewelers to produce amazing mesh platinum wedding rings that could not be made with other metals.
