White Gold or Platinum? The Ultimate Comparison for Engagement and Wedding Rings
When it comes to choosing the perfect ring, many face a dilemma: white gold or platinum? Both metals look identical at first glance, but they differ significantly in their physical properties and price. At Sirius Diamant, we help you find the material that best suits your lifestyle.
White Gold: The Radiant Classic
White gold is an alloy of yellow gold and light metals such as palladium. To achieve its radiant white, it is coated with rhodium (rhodium plating).
- Advantage: More attractive in price than platinum and very easy to work with.
- Special feature: The rhodium layer can wear off over time, but can be renewed cost-effectively at Sirius Diamant at any time.
Platinum: Pure Eternity
Platinum is naturally white and one of the rarest and heaviest precious metals in the world. It is usually used in a purity of 95% (Platinum 950).
- Advantage: It never loses its color and is extremely durable. It is also hypoallergenic and ideal for sensitive skin.
-
Special feature: Platinum is heavier and more expensive than gold, but offers an incomparable wearing experience.
