Building a legacy with bridal pieces.
By Olivia Harris, Diamonds Direct
If diamonds are forever, platinum is its eternal equal! Platinum has been heralded over the centuries for its durable properties, making it one of the most sought after and rare precious metals on the planet. In fact, there is more platinum found in meteorites and on the moon than here on mother Earth.
Platinum is unique in the sense that it is almost completely pure. That means no or few alloys are added to it to make the metal jewelry quality, making it an excellent hypoallergenic option. Though platinum is dense, it is still very malleable, which works in the ring’s favor. When a platinum ring is polished, bumped, dropped, or nicked, the platinum simply moves to the side, and can be polished back into place to look good as new. Many jewelers refer to platinum as, “heirloom quality,” for this reason. Maybe you have inherited platinum pieces or plan to pass down your bridal jewelry one day. Platinum metal maintains its brilliant white hue over time, making an excellent duo to your gorgeous diamond or gemstone center stones. Additionally, platinum for a gentlemen’s band is a smart option to ensure that you both can enjoy effortless upkeep over time.
When considering platinum for your engagement ring, wedding bands, or day-of jewelry, it’s important to identify the sentimental value that these items possess. In an ever-evolving landscape of rising prices and cost-effective alternatives, investing in fine jewelry cannot be underestimated. At the end of the day, we want our jewelry pieces to maintain or increase in their value over time – and platinum allows you to do just that!
