Platinum Engagement Rings

The biggest question about buying platinum engagement rings is how it matches up against white gold or other metals. Both white gold and yellow gold are made of mixed metals, just like platinum.

Unlike white gold and yellow gold, platinum engagement rings are made of 95% pure platinum. The other 5% is usually cobalt or palladium. Gold is a soft metal, so it needs to be paired with other metals to make it stronger. A 14k gold engagement ring is made of 58.3% pure gold. The other remaining percentage is made up of other metals called alloy metals.

For yellow gold engagement rings, the alloy metal is copper. For white gold engagement rings, the alloy metals can be a mixture of other white metals.

An 18k gold engagement ring contains 75% pure gold. The gold purity in these engagement rings is closer to the platinum purity in platinum engagement rings.

A lot of people think that having a higher gold purity in their own engagement ring is better. While it may increase the value and price, it decreases the overall durability. 18k engagement rings are still fine for everyday jewelry, but anything more than that gets damaged easier.

That doesn't mean that platinum engagement rings are better than 18k gold engagement rings. There are many different reasons why someone might choose one or the other. Both are capable of being worn every day.

Ethically sourced diamonds have been a hot topic among jewelry buyers. But many of them don't know about ethically sourced precious metals. Not every precious metal is sourced ethically. All of our precious metals are certified by the Responsible Jewelry Council as recycled.

The platinum engagement rings at Clean Origin are ethically sourced. All of our gold and platinum engagement rings are made of recycled metals. More and more jewelers are offering recycled gold, but not as many offer recycled platinum.

The main parts of your platinum jewelry may have come from other jewelry, We are striving towards being 100% recycled metal, but at this moment we have small parts of our diamond jewelry that are unable to be recycled because of product availability.

Platinum engagement rings are usually more expensive than 14k or 18k gold engagement rings. They can cost $200-500 more than an engagement ring crafted in gold. Sometimes even more.

You also have to take into account that platinum engagement rings have a higher density than gold engagement rings and wedding bands. That means that it takes more platinum to create platinum rings. Less gold is used to create gold wedding rings.

Pure platinum is both more expensive and more valuable than pure gold. When you add the density as well as value, it makes sense that a platinum diamond ring would be more expensive than a gold engagement ring. It's also considered more of a rare metal, which also increases its value.

Not only are platinum engagement rings a stunning choice, but they are also perfect for people with sensitive skin. Platinum has a rich history and timeless look that can be combined with various styles making them a great option for an engagement ring setting. Whether you like a princess, round, or solitaire setting, there is a perfect platinum engagement ring out there for you!

Platinum features a beautiful naturally white appearance making it not only an iconic choice for an engagement ring, but it is also one of the rarest metal used in jewelry. Due to its rarity, not many people have platinum rings. In fact, the most popular metal used in jewelry is white gold and yellow gold. While platinum is not as popular as other metals, it is 30 times rarer than gold, so you will surely stand out with a platinum engagement ring!

A platinum engagement ring may be strong, but it's not unbreakable. Most platinum diamond rings will need some sort of maintenance if worn every day for years and years.

Sometimes the prongs around the center diamond or gemstone on your own engagement ring may wear down. It's more likely for the prongs on a gold engagement ring to wear down faster than with a platinum engagement ring.

The way you can tell if the prongs are wearing down on your platinum engagement ring is to run your fingers over them. If they're rough at all, it's time to take your engagement ring to the jewelers for prong re-tipping. Another big indication is if your prongs start catching on clothing and fabrics.

Although platinum is a durable metal, over time, it can wear down and develop a patina. The best way to fix this is by visiting a jeweler who can assist you in polishing the metal to get it back to its original luster and shine.
