Platinum is a white metal, but unlike gold it is used in jewellery in almost its pure form (approximately 95% pure). Platinum is extremely long wearing and is very white, so it does not need to be Rhodium plated like white gold.
Platinum is very dense (heavy), so a platinum ring will feel heavier than an 18ct gold ring.
Platinum is significantly more expensive than 18ct white, yellow and rose gold. Also, Platinum does tend to scratch more easily than white gold and requires regular maintenance also.

I’ve had two separate and equally brilliant experiences at Larsen, with Fleur and Jacinta.One, a few years ago, to redesign my engagement ring, and more recently when I decided I wanted to update my wedding band.Both times I have felt totally at ease and able to bring ideas to them and let them be creative. Their suggestions have been spot on and I really appreciated the time they took to understand me and what I might like. I wanted something vintage but not too traditional and they were able to deliver on that brief.I’m so happy with both pieces they have created.
