Platinum Rings
Platinum rings are naturally white the whole way through, so unlike white gold they never need replating to keep their colour. Platinum is also considerably denser than gold, which gives a ring real presence on the finger and holds stones securely for decades rather than years. It is hypoallergenic, so it suits skin that reacts to other metals.
With wear, platinum develops a distinctive soft satin patina as the surface metal is displaced. Rarer than gold and worked at higher purity (typically 950 parts per thousand), platinum sits at the top end of fine jewellery, which is reflected in its price, weight and enduring appeal. Each ring is hallmarked at the Assay Office to guarantee metal content and origin.
Platinum is particularly well suited to jewellery intended to be worn for a lifetime. Many clients choose platinum for engagement rings because of its naturally white colour, durability and suitability for secure stone settings.

Platinum Rings FAQs
Platinum is naturally white, so it does not require rhodium plating to maintain its colour. White gold is often rhodium plated to achieve a bright white finish and may require replating over time.
Yes. Platinum can scratch with wear, but its surface tends to develop a distinctive soft, matt patina over time as some of the metal is displaced rather than simply removed. Many people grow to prefer that finish, and a jeweller can polish it back whenever you want.
Platinum is often chosen by people with sensitive skin because jewellery-grade platinum is typically used at high purity. However, individual sensitivities can vary, so it is worth checking the exact metal composition if you have a known allergy.”
Two reasons. Platinum is denser than gold, so a comparable ring can require more metal by weight. Platinum jewellery is also typically produced at high purity and the metal requires specialist processes to work and finish. These factors can contribute to a higher finished price.
