Some people find platinum preferable to white gold- if they are allergic to the nickel (in some white gold alloys). Platinum is also an excellent choice as the setting material for your diamond jewelry because of its strength and durability.

White gold is pure gold that has been mixed with alloys to make it appear to be white. Platinum is a pure metal that is naturally white in color and is stronger and more durable than white gold. It is also more rare and thus more valuable. Yes, most gemstones in the industry have been treated. Emeralds are oiled or waxed to enhance their color and increase their durability. All gemstones are usually heated to bring out a brighter color. See similar questions...

Platinum is the metal of three. Platinum is three times the distance under ground than gold, it requires three times the heat needed to melt, and has three times the durability. It also takes three times the tools required to work with. So I'll bet you guessed it - it's also three times the cost. White gold, of course, is a mixture of pure gold and some other alloy such as nickel to help give it the white silvery look which is natural platinum. See similar questions...

Because both of these metals are actually gray colored metals there would be very little if any contrast between them. If you want a white on white look, consider the sterling and palladium (a platinum family metal) Classic band or the 18K white gold and silver Terra rings. All of our rings are about 50 - 50 visually, but there are slight variations due to the way the patterning process exposes the metals. It is about 50/50 by weight. See similar questions...

Platinum and gold are two completely different materials based on entirely different characteristics. Platinum is softer than white gold creating its well-known dull finish trait. Platinum is also naturally white, where as white gold has a slightly yellowish hue even after palladium or nickel have been added to "bleach" the gold. Platinum is also 90% to 95% pure platinum, while 14k gold is only 58.5% pure gold-and 18k gold is only 75% pure gold. See similar questions...

Price and care. Platinum is more expensive. It is heavier, wears very well, and will always be white. When I say "wears well" I mean that it doesn't wear down over time. However, it is quite soft so it does scratch easily and becomes dull faster than white gold. There is no such thing as natural white gold-it's all yellow gold that is alloyed with white metal (usually nickel) and then plated with white metal (usually rhodium). See similar questions...

Platinum is generally more expensive, about $800 more per ring than white gold. It is more durable in that it will not wear out as quickly as white gold, however platinum will actually bend and scratch a bit easier. Platinum will keep its steely white color forever, where white gold will tend to "yellow" a bit. Platinum will also have more of a matte finish, and white gold a bit more of a shine.
