Platinum is the metal of choice at MySolitaire for engagement
rings, wedding bands and anniversary bands. Platinum’s luster brings out the
brilliance of our diamonds better than gold. The Platinum used as
MySolitaire is at least 95% pure.
Platinum used in jewelry is usually of 95% purity
compared to Gold which is of 75% purity (18K Gold). Platinum Jewelry keeps
its luster for and is less likely to have the polish fade or the metal
tarnish. The purity of the metal also makes it ideal for sensitive skins and
naturally hypoallergenic.
Platinum is stronger and rarer of than 18K Gold. It is
more expensive but requires less maintenance. The density of platinum makes
it more durable than other metals used in jewelry. Like most metals,
platinum will scratch (though not easily). However, the scratch on a
platinum jewelry is merely a displacement of the metal and none of its
volume is lost. So, even though wearing it each and every day may leave an
impression on the surface, the overall piece will not lose value because of
metal loss. This is why MySolitaire uses platinum prongs in all the custom
designed engagement rings and most of our pre-set engagement rings.
Platinum jewelry is the perfect choice for a lifetime
of everyday wear.
