5 Reasons To Buy Platinum Engagement Rings
Engagement rings are the ultimate symbols of love and commitment between two people. When it comes to buying a ring for the woman you want to spend the rest of your life with, there's no better way to demonstrate the depth of your feelings than buying a platinum engagement ring.
The word "Platinum" has become synonymous with status, wealth and success. A platinum engagement ring is a new twist on a tradition as old as love itself and one that's worth embracing today and into the future.
Platinum engagement rings are the latest trend among brides-to-be and with good reason. While the price tag may seem out of reach for some, these gorgeous pieces are worth every penny they cost. The average price of a platinum ring, which is typically the most expensive of all metals used for jewellery, is only around £2,000. This price compares to the average engagement ring, which runs around £1,500. In this article, you will see why this is an excellent investment.
Platinum engagement rings are an investment into a lasting commitment that will last a lifetime.
A Platinum Engagement Ring Is The Perfect Symbol Of Eternal Love
As the perfect symbol of eternal love and commitment, nothing captures that special moment of beginning a life together like a platinum engagement ring.
Platinum. Precious, rare and enduring, platinum does not fade or tarnish over time, making it just as eternal as the love you share with your partner. Platinum, rarer than even gold, has the advantage of being much harder than gold, making it ideal for jewellery that will be worn every day for a lifetime. A platinum engagement ring has all the rare and precious metal qualities we all look for in this most important and special jewellery.
What could be better than a symbol of eternal love than a metal that will weather the storms of a lifetime without suffering significant damage?
Platinum Is A Timeless Symbol Of Beauty And Success
Gold has been regarded as a symbol of wealth and success for millennia, but platinum is an even more potent symbol. Platinum was known thousands of years ago but found only in tiny quantities and was usually considered an impurity in gold. In the late 16th century, conquistadores discovered significant amounts of a new white metal in Ecuador.
To the western world, the new metal was so hard with such a high melting point that it was not possible to work with it to create solid jewellery until the 19th century, when English chemists devised ways to attain the high temperatures required. Although techniques to use platinum did exist earlier, their inventors kept them a secret.
Because platinum is so hard, it is harder to craft into jewellery and takes longer; this makes it more costly to work with than gold or silver.
Jewellery made with platinum is much more resistant to damage; for example, in platinum rings, the prongs holding the precious stones will be unlikely to wear away or break, both of which can happen to gold jewellery.
Rarity, the difficulty of working and the time taken to create jewellery all contribute to making platinum jewellery more costly and thus even more of a status symbol than gold.
Platinum Is A Symbol Of Prosperity And Wealth
If you want to display your wealth and generosity, a platinum engagement ring is the way to go. Of course, it would mean nothing if the metal were dull and ugly. But platinum, with its distinctive white sheen, is beautiful by itself and perfectly complements the sparkling white fire of diamonds.
As the rarest of all the precious metals, platinum jewellery is a clear sign of the owner's wealth. Platinum is usually worn by prosperous people who can afford the rarest of precious metals as jewellery rather than the more commonplace silver or gold.

A Platinum Engagement Ring Is A Symbol Of The Ultimate Commitment!
Again, related to platinum's value and rarity, the cost of a platinum engagement ring communicates to both your fiancee and all who see the ring how much you value her. Any engagement ring symbolises the sacrifice you are prepared to make for the woman who will become your wife.
An engagement ring almost always represents a sacrifice on the buyer's part; the money could have been spent on nearly anything else. Still, the engagement ring is a positive choice for the woman you love showing that you are prepared to sacrifice your standard of living for her.
As jewellers, we always recommend that people should never buy an engagement ring that is too costly. Still, it is undoubtedly true that if you can afford a platinum engagement ring, you are making a statement to the woman you love and to the world. You are making a commitment to her more significant than if you gave a similar ring in gold.

A Platinum Engagement Ring Is A Symbol That Never Goes Out Of Style
Ever since Edwardian times, when platinum first became widely available outside of the world's royalty, buyers and wearers of jewellery have been in love with the look of platinum in jewellery. You can be sure that choosing a platinum engagement ring will never be commonplace. At the same time, designers working in platinum ensure that their designs will be beautiful and desirable for a lifetime and beyond.
Just look at a piece of platinum jewellery. You will see that, like silver, it has grey undertones to the colour, whereas white gold has a warmer, slightly yellow undertone even when rhodium coated. White gold is lovely in its way but will require re-coating every few years to keep its looks. Platinum is brighter and shinier than gold or silver; both will always look a little duller. We think that when you look at our platinum engagement rings, you will be entranced by the bright shiny appearance that really stands out in comparison with our lovely white gold pieces.
