The Metal of Choice

Why Choose a Platinum Engagement Ring?

Platinum sits at the very top of the hierarchy of precious metals, and for good reason. It is naturally white, not alloyed or plated to appear white as white gold is, and it will never fade, yellow or require re-finishing over time. What you see when a platinum ring leaves our workshop is what you will see decades later.

Platinum is also significantly denser and heavier than gold, which gives it a satisfying weight on the finger that many wearers find deeply reassuring. It is hypoallergenic, making it the ideal choice for those with sensitive skin, and its durability means it holds diamond settings securely over the long term.

For those purchasing a significant diamond, platinum is the natural choice of metal. Its cool, bright tone maximises the visual brightness of a colourless diamond in a way that no other metal quite achieves.

Making the Right Choice

Platinum vs 18ct White Gold: What is the Difference?

The two metals look almost identical to the naked eye, which is why the comparison is so common. The key differences are in composition, behaviour and price.

Composition

Platinum engagement rings are typically 95% pure platinum, making them one of the purest precious metal jewellery items available. Our white gold engagement rings are crafted in 18ct gold, an alloy of gold and white metals such as palladium or silver, finished with rhodium plating to give it its white appearance.

Maintenance

Platinum requires no re-plating. Its natural colour is permanent, and while it develops a soft patina over time, this can be polished away to restore its original brightness. White gold requires periodic re-plating as the rhodium wears, typically every one to two years, which is covered as part of our lifetime aftercare service.

Weight and Feel

Platinum is noticeably heavier than gold, which many wearers prefer. For those who love a more substantial ring, platinum has an unmatched feel.

Price

Platinum is the more expensive of the two metals due to its rarity and purity. For those set on a white metal ring and working within a tighter budget, our 18ct white gold engagement rings are an excellent alternative.

Find Your Style

Platinum Engagement Ring Settings

Solitaire Platinum Engagement Rings

A platinum solitaire is the most classic of all engagement ring combinations. The permanence of the metal and the purity of the single-stone setting create a ring that is as timeless as it is beautiful.

Halo Platinum Engagement Rings

Platinum's naturally bright tone makes it an excellent choice for halo settings, where the continuity of colour between the band, the halo and the centre stone creates a seamless, luminous effect.

Three-Stone Platinum Engagement Rings

The density and security of platinum make it a particularly strong choice for three-stone settings, where the metal must hold multiple stones safely over decades of wear.

Made for You

Can I Design a Bespoke Platinum Engagement Ring?

Absolutely. Platinum is one of the most rewarding metals to work with. Our bespoke service gives you full involvement in every aspect of the ring's design, from the setting style and stone selection through to the profile of the band and the finishing details.

Many of our customers who choose a platinum engagement ring do so because they want a ring built to last without compromise, and the bespoke process ensures that every element of the ring reflects that intention.

Platinum does scratch with everyday wear, but it behaves differently from gold when it does. Rather than losing metal, platinum displaces it, meaning scratches create a soft patina rather than removing material from the ring. Many wearers grow to love this patina as evidence of the ring's life and story. It can always be polished to restore a high finish if preferred.

Yes. Platinum is one of the most biocompatible metals available and is exceptionally well-tolerated by virtually all wearers, including those with sensitive skin or metal allergies. If you have experienced reactions to other metals, platinum is almost always the recommended choice.

Platinum is low-maintenance compared to other metals. It benefits from occasional professional cleaning and polishing, which our aftercare service covers. Avoid exposing the ring to harsh chemicals, and store it separately from other jewellery to prevent surface scratching.

For many of our customers, yes. The permanence of platinum's colour, the absence of any re-plating requirements, its hypoallergenic properties and its superior density make it the metal of choice for those who want the very best for a ring they intend to wear every day for life. The additional cost is a one-time investment in a metal that will never need replacing or refinishing.
