Guide to buying a platinum ring
The platinum that we use for our jewelry is made up of 95% platinum and 5% other metals (iridium.)
Platinum is one of the purest precious metals used in the jewelry industry. This metal is very rare and is associated with luxury and longevity. A platinum ring will be more valuable than a gold ring.
Platinum exhibits a silvery-white sparkle that makes it incomparably elegant. It goes well with a wide variety of metals and gemstones.
It is much more durable than gold and is unalterable; some even say that platinum is four times as durable as gold. Platinum is well-known for its durability and hardness, as well as for being heavier than gold (the density of platinum is 60% greater than that of gold.)
Platinum is more difficult and more delicate to work with than gold, so it is necessary that you get in touch with a skilled and competent jeweler so as to have him make your ring. Our jewelers have worked for the top high-jewelry houses. As such, they know very well the particularities of platinum and they perfectly know how to work with it.
We invite you to use our filters so as to select the platinum gold rings of your choice according to the type of diamond and setting you want.

Since platinum is more difficult to work with than gold, it will take more time to make a platinum piece of jewelry than to make the same piece of jewelry with either white gold or yellow gold. This is because platinum is less often smelted, but also because the smelting needs to be done again if bubbles appear in the process. Sometimes, jewelers do not have enough platinum in stock to make their jewelry. The price of a platinum ring is therefore higher than that of a white or yellow gold ring as a result of these constraints, but also because platinum is denser than gold. If you compare two similar rings, one made with gold and one with platinum, the latter will be the heavier one.
Many of our customers choose a platinum ring or platinum earrings as this metal is both noble and durable.
It is important that you clean your platinum jewelry regularly as it can get dirty over time. For this, we recommend that you use lukewarm soapy water as well as an old toothbrush that is quite flexible. Let your ring soak in the water for a few minutes, then brush it with your toothbrush, rinse it with clean water, and finally dry it with a soft cloth.
We advise you to bring your ring to a jeweler from time to time so that he can examine it and clean it more thoroughly thanks to an ultrasound system.
The cost of the platinum that is needed to make a ring represents between 20% and 35% of the total price of the ring. You need 4-8 grams of platinum to make a ring, which will cost - according to the current platinum prices ( $44,448.00) - between $178.00 and $267.00
