Step 48

Platinum is a very rare and beautiful metal that has being increasingly used for making platinum wedding bands over the past two centuries. Perhaps it’s a natural transition for young couples who have been loading up on a number of silver ornaments over the last decade to now upgrade to tasteful platinum jewellery.

During courtship, youngsters preferred to exchange silver rings as they weren’t as expensive as the others; they have thus developed an affinity for white pieces of jewelry but now desire something a bit more upscale. Enter platinum wedding rings!

This trend is not a passing fancy. The purer the platinum, the better its quality. Most high quality platinum wedding rings are made out of 85,90,95 and 99.9 percent platinum.

All platinum wedding rings have stamps on them which indicates the type & purity of the metal used for making the rings. Some people are allergic to gold & other precious metals.

Pure and good quality platinum wedding rings are not known to cause allergies. Platinum is commonly alloyed with iridium or ruthenium to make up the other 5 to 10% of the ring.

As either of these alloys are also metals in the platinum metal group, platinum is hypoallergenic and ideal for people with sensitive skin. Good quality platinum wedding rings dent or scratch lesser than rings made of gold or other metals.

It is also important that it fits you well so that the ring is worn very comfortably. Most platinum jewelry develops a natural patina or matte effect over time. This can be corrected by having the ring polished by a qualified jeweler.
