Platinum is back...and it's here to stay!⁠

White gold has been in the limelight, but there's a renewed appreciation for platinum with soonly-weds finding joy in the nostalgia and peace of mind that platinum's quality brings. ⁠ ⁠

Reminiscent of the 90's, often referred to as the second Art Deco period, the clean lines and uncomplicated style of these eras are making a return. True to the original Art Deco era, white metals are once again prominent in engagement ring trends. ⁠ ⁠ Beyond trend, there's several reason why it pays to go platinum!⁠ ⁠

1️⃣ Platinum's naturally bright white appearance complements the brilliance of your diamond, and it will actually stay that way for decades. White gold is often rhodium plated to appear white, but it wears off with time, revealing its natural soft yellow color that requires maintenance to stay white. ⁠ ⁠

2️⃣ The exceptional durability of platinum ensures that the engagement ring you cherish will withstand the test of time, providing a safe home for your diamonds. ⁠ ⁠

3️⃣ Platinum is hypoallergenic! Being 95% pure platinum, you know you're wearing one of the finest metals, and you don't have to worry about having a reaction. It also has a nice dense weight that feels super luxe on the hand.⁠ ⁠ Ready to explore the world of platinum?
