Platinum Engagement Rings

Why Choose This Metal

Platinum is the densest precious metal used in fine jewellery, making it exceptionally durable for everyday wear. Unlike white gold, it will not yellow over time or require replating. The metal develops a natural patina that many find attractive, though it can be polished back to a bright finish. A platinum engagement ring holds stones more securely due to the metal's strength, giving peace of mind for your most precious piece.

Stone Options

This metal pairs beautifully with any centre stone. Our moissanite platinum rings offer exceptional fire and brilliance at accessible prices. Lab grown options provide the same optical properties as mined stones with full certification. The cool tone enhances the brightness of colourless stones, making them appear whiter and more vibrant. A solitaire ring creates a timeless look, while shoulder set pieces add extra sparkle.

Investment Value

These pieces command a premium over gold alternatives, reflecting the metal's rarity and density. However, this investment pays dividends through longevity. While gold bands may thin over decades of wear, this metal simply displaces rather than wears away. We offer interest free credit to help spread the cost, making premium materials accessible to more couples. Visit our site to explore flexible payment options.

Care and Maintenance

A solitaire engagement piece in this metal requires minimal maintenance. Clean regularly with warm soapy water and a soft brush. The natural patina that develops over time can be left for a subtle vintage look or polished by a jeweller for a bright finish. Unlike plated alternatives, scratches can be buffed out without removing material, ensuring your piece looks beautiful for generations.

FAQs

Is a platinum engagement ring worth it?

Yes, for those who value durability and prestige. The metal lasts a lifetime without yellowing or requiring replating. While the initial cost is higher than gold, the long term value is excellent.

Is this metal more expensive than gold?

Generally yes. It is denser and rarer, requiring more material per piece. However, the price difference is often smaller than expected, especially when compared to 18k white gold that needs regular replating.

Can I pair it with a gold wedding band?

Yes, though be aware that harder metals can wear softer ones over time. Many couples choose matching bands to avoid this, while others embrace the mixed metal look and accept the gradual wear as part of the journey.
