The Platinum Advantage for Diamonds
Platinum engagement rings have a very low reflectivity rate, ensuring the metal doesn’t take the shine away from the main event: your diamond. This maximizes the stone's brilliance and scintillation.
You’ll also find that the natural white color enhances near-colorless diamonds (D-H), giving an enhanced sparkle. This is the opposite effect to what’s seen in warm yellow gold rings.
Platinum is also considered very sleek and contemporary, unlike gold rings, which immediately suggest a timeless style.
Finally, platinum is hypoallergenic, so if your partner is sensitive to fabrics and metals, you can rest assured knowing their skin won’t react to your investment.

FAQs on Platinum Diamond Engagement Rings
Do Platinum Diamond Engagement Rings require maintenance?
Like all rings, yes, but compared to other metals, it’s minimal. Cleaning with mild soap and warm water is recommended. There’s no need to repeat or be strongly concerned with patina, as you do with gold.
Is platinum better than white gold for engagement rings?
It’s all about personal preference, as many people adore the white gold look. However, platinum engagement rings are generally considered better for longevity as it’s 95% pure and more scratch-resistant.
Why is platinum more expensive?
Platinum generally costs more than gold due to its rarity. It’s 30 times rarer and mined in limited deposits. It also requires more material per ring, as it is 60% denser. Combine that with the high demand, and you get a more expensive, yet gorgeous material.
Does platinum scratch?
Yes, platinum diamond engagement rings can scratch, but the scratches are less visible than in gold and can be polished away.
What diamond color grade works best with platinum?
We recommend D-H (colorless to near colorless). These grades shine brightest with a white tone.
