Platinum Wedding
Bands & Rings

Although similar in appearance, platinum and white gold are quite different. Platinum is generally used as a mostly pure form (around 95%) while white gold is an alloy of pure gold (generally 50-75%) and other metals such as palladium or silver. Both are high quality metals with their own separate appeal, and the choice between the two usually comes down to personal preference. If you're unsure, ask our experienced jewellery team, who can help you to determine which metal will suit you best.

With its strength and resistance to wear, platinum is ideal for delicate details and fine claw settings, which could otherwise become worn over time. On the other hand, engraved designs and bevelled edges are often best achieved with white gold, as it holds its shape better so they are likely to look crisp and clean for longer.

As with all our pieces, the price of a platinum wedding ring will depend on a number of factors, such the design chosen and if any gemstones are included. The prices for many of our platinum wedding rings are included in their descriptions or our price list, but for a more detailed quote on a custom design, please get in touch with our team of experts.

With its pale colour, platinum is an ideal backdrop for the spectacular hues of coloured gemstones, but the metal also makes an elegant wedding ring when paired with pale stones such as colourless diamonds. The best gemstones, though, will ultimately be the ones that suit your personal taste.

Yes, engraved platinum wedding rings look spectacular and are certainly possible. Sometimes white gold is preferred for engraved designs, as white gold can retain its polish for longer, but we encourage you to speak with our jewellers to determine the right option for you.

Yes, they can be! Platinum is much denser than a lot of other metals used in jewellery, so a platinum ring is likely to feel a little heavier on your finger than an identical gold ring. If you'd like to compare for yourself, you can ask our jewellery designers about viewing and trying on these metals in one of our studios.
