Platinum is the metal of choice for setting the world's most famous gemstones such as the Star of Africa and the Hope Diamond. Its pure white lustre, brings out the true radiance of diamonds. It is also a very dense and durable metal, 40% heavier than gold and highly resistant to corrosion and tarnishing. It doesn't change shape or wear away and thus holds stones firmly in place. It never loses its lustre unlike white gold which can fade in time and may require replating; and although it is possible to scratch as with all metals, it is by far the most resistant.
Platinum jewellery is 95% pure, which adds to its appeals for something as special as a wedding ring. 18ct gold, in comparison, is 75% pure. Platinum is also hypoallergenic, making it ideal for sensitive skin.
When choosing diamonds for your wedding or engagment ring, it is useful to understand what to look for - so we have prepared a guide to help you choose and learn about the perfect stone for your ring.
"I joined fabulous in 2009, after completing my degree in Sociology. As well as being the Manager of the Leamington store, I am also the product manager across the company so you may also see me in our other stores, or you may recognise me from Solihull where I was the deputy manager. My favourite lines are currently Alex and Ani (especially their Colour Infusion collection) and I'm building on my Nikki Lissoni collection!"
