4 Points for Platinum


  • Platinum's durability provides an extremely secure setting for your diamonds and precious gemstones, which means more peace of mind as you enjoy your platinum engagement ring.
  • Its density and weight make it more durable than all other jewelry metals.
  • While all metals scratch, platinum loses very little metal to everday wear.
  • Its natural white color will never change.

Virtually every famous gemstone, from the Star of Africa to the Hope Diamond, is set in platinum. Not merely because of its distinction as a setting, but because platinum represents the best protection for your gemstones.

Anatomy of the Engagement Ring


Anantomy of Engagement Ring

The Stone will account for 75-90% of the overall cost of the ring.

The Setting holds the center stone. A strong precious metal is imperative in securing your investment.

The Band will endure the most wear over time since it's in constant contact with the fingers and everything that the hand touches.

The Stamp indicates the type and purity of the metal. All platinum rings must have this.
