Platinum Rings

Since the time of the ancient Egyptians, people have used platinum in jewelry. The famous diamonds, the Hope diamond and the Star of Africa rest in platinum. Nowadays, jewelers frequently incorporate the metal in rings and other jewelry.

Platinum rings make a profound statement that highlights both your tastes and feelings – although this statement does come with a price. Platinum is considerably more expensive than gold making the purchase of a platinum ring a weighty investment. If considering platinum, keep in mind the cost does represent a strong, durable metal that will last a lifetime.

Platinum is a stunning metal. Plain bands of high purity platinum with fine engravings make both excellent promise and wedding rings. When mounted with solitaire diamonds, they create a dazzling, unmatched luminescence. It is easy to polish.

Pure platinum mixed with titanium, copper, osmium, palladium, ruthenium, iridium, and rhodium is measured in parts of 1000. The level of purity is engraved on the inside face of a platinum ring – a marking of 950 means 95 percent purity.

Wedding rings, engagement rings, and anniversary rings made from platinum resist wear and tear, do not tarnish and last almost forever.
