  What is Platinum couples promise rings

 Platinum is the purest of all precious metals. A naturally white mineral, it does not need to be mixed with other substances in order to attain its coveted cool shade. Jewelry must be at least 95 percent pure platinum. The remaining 5 percent can contain other alloys.

 Like anything else, platinum matching necklaces come with their own pros and con. You may also prefer other metals, such as titanium or platinum. You can still make a well-informed decision if you're looking at platinum engagement rings.

 Platinum Cons:

 Price: As with all things, the best jewelry comes at a high price. Platinum jewelry pieces are no exception. Long's Fine Jewelers states that "cost is one of the most important selling points for white gold over platinum." The price of platinum will almost always exceed that of white gold. This is because platinum is 30 times rarer than gold, and it's mined far less. For example, 2700 tons of white gold are mined every year while only 80 tonnes of platinum are. Platinum is more difficult to manipulate than other metals, so labor costs can affect the price.

 Resizing platinum rings can be a challenge because of the higher melting temperature required by platinum. Repairs are laborious and take longer. Platinum is a metal that conducts heat quickly. This increases the risk of damaging your ring's gemstone.

 Maintenance and care: Unlike some other metals, platinum jewelry does not fade with age. The durable metal will need some TLC, however. Platinum jewelry should be removed from certain activities in order to prevent damage. Clean the platinum piece with a soft cleaner designed specifically for it or soak in warm water and a mild mixture of soap. You should never immerse your rings or fine jewellery in cleaning products as they can damage the stones.

 The surface of platinum, like rose gold, will change over time to a texture similar to a frosted finish. It is up to you whether you like this patina. A quick polishing can remove it.
