Are you looking for a timeless engagement ring or an alternative to the classic yellow gold solitaire rings as wedding bands?

Why choose a diamond engagement ring in platinum? There are multiple reasons.

Solitaire engagement ring setting

With a single stone, solitaire rings should be eye-catching. In this case, the alloy you choose plays a key role. White gold or platinum engagement rings remain the most popular choices, and one of the main advantages of platinum is, of course, its natural white tone, a timeless color that makes the diamond in a solitaire ring shine even brighter. Couples also often choose platinum for wedding bands.

For him and for her

Both men and women like to wear platinum. That is why you will find many different platinum designs in our extensive collection of wedding rings. This precious metal is difficult to bend and its hardness makes it ideal to be set with diamonds. Does the bride prefer several diamonds or does she prefer a solitaire ring? Everything is possible with platinum. In addition, this alloy is easy to maintain, which is why there is still so much vintage platinum jewelry in circulation. Possible scratches or other signs of age and wear on platinum rings are easily removed by polishing the ring or using non-scratch platinum cloths. However, men often think that the "worn" look that appears after a while gives an attractive masculine touch to the ring.

Sustainability and price

Platinum is a precious metal, which means it is much rarer than other alloys. If we were to put all the platinum mined in the world into a pool, it would barely reach our ankles. Therefore, the rarity and high demand make platinum a bit more expensive than yellow or white gold. Platinum is used for more applications than you probably expected. This precious metal is even used in many cell phones. But, of course, in small quantities.

As you can see, platinum is a sustainable choice for your engagement ring or wedding band. Want to know more about this precious precious metal or other alloys for solitaire rings? Be inspired or contact the BAUNAT experts.
